What Happened to my Webers??

After removing the engine from my 72T, for painting and cleaning the whole car, I put the thing back in and now pops and backfires. Everyone is pointing at the carbs. I had then off to clean and thought dirt might be plugging some circuts. If I pour a little gas down the tops of the carbs, it starts up and runs smooth for about 4 seconds, then starts poping and dies. I've had the things apart 4 times shooting air and carb cleaner through all the jets and passages. The pump nozzels are now clear, jets, idle screws all flow cleanly. Is there a main passageway the could be blocked that will let air escape out another hole? (air goes in a jet and comes out in venturi - still maybe not sucking gas?)
Any ideas? Thanks
Bob
