Kerzy, is all this latest data you gave us running off of a jerry can? Does it start without squirting can into carb? Are you driving it with jerry can? What exactly is it doing now?
What you did with ether is a sign of a vacuum leak. Identify exactly where it is leaking by using a hose on the ether stem to keep the spray controlled. The Rochester carb bodies can warp. Do you have a Model B? Did you take carb completely apart, including power piston? Did you get the right b a l l s in the right place?
I can advise further if I get these answers.
Me either, until this truck. If I didn't prime it after changing the pump I couldn't get her running. Then once primed, she ran great. Just my 2 cents. Your mileage may vary.
