Hi so trying to figure out where my issue is maybe someone can help my blazer won't start it's got a 350 here is what I have done so far new fuel filter new fuel pump tore down the carb and inspection everything is clean checked for spark new battery when I crank it over she spits out small amounts of fuel not as much as I would expect and she almost turns over when pouring fuel directly into the carburetor my next step is going to check all fuel lines then pull the fuel tank any ideas would be great thanks everyone
 
So you do have good strong spark?

Was any work done prior to the no start?

How did this begin - park it one night and no start the next morning or was it running and quit then will not restart?
 
I replaced the vacuum lines then adjusted the idle by ear since I was in a hurry the truck was runny good then started having power issues meaning going up the smallest hill was hard the idle was jumping up and down then after I turned it off it started one more time I pulled into the garage to calibrate the carburetor and then died in the middle of working the mixing screws now it won't start any more

And yes I have a strong spark
 
When I had the same deal, turned out to be a small crack in the rubber fuel line from the frame to the pump

That was what I was going to go through next. Fuel line leading to tank then checking out the tank. My fuel sending unit just went out aswell
 
Family Guy was great for the first few seasons..then it got "eh"..
I admit some of the skits are not that funny,and some insulting to certain ethnic groups and they take shots at many celebrities..

"Bob's Burgers" is one show I never liked ,I turn it off immediately..something about it ,I just don't like it ,period..

Of course its on multiple channels at all hours when nothing else good is on..:surepal:..

As for the OP Blazer question,it sounds like it ran out of gas while he was adjusting the carb..then he poured gas down the carb and possibly fouled the spark plugs..
I've seen many chevy's with HEI that have great spark when you check it--but after the plugs got gas washed (like when a choke pull off fails to open the choke plate quickly enough after a cold start or it sticks closed),the engine wont even fart until 8 new plugs are installed--then it'll fire right up and run good again..till it floods again.
