Definitely check to see the fuel pump lever is on the correct side of the
cam. I had a similar problem a few years ago when a very good shop did me
the unrequested favor of replacing a fuel pump gasket and an embarrassed
mechanic got the lever positioned wrong. He's still a little red-faced
over that...
In my case the car would run for a minute or so after priming the bowls,
then stall until they were manually filled again.
Here's what it looked like by the time I pulled it. Note the worn spot on
the affected lever next to a reference.
