Thumbs down Zenith Problems

Freshened up a 2.2T that had been setting for many years. At some point the car sat outside where the rings seized, so that was the primary focus of the rebuild. Most of the pre-atomizers were bad so I got into each of the carb bowls in making that repair. Pulled out all the brass jets and cleared passageways that are exposed from the bowl opening. Beyond that, I didn't touch any of the external jetting assuming I'd do more harm than good. Was also careful not to disturb the distributor.
Sprayed some starting fluid in and it fired right up. Unfortunately, the float bowls were overflowing up through the tubes and down the carb throats. Installed a regulator and now the bowls are full, but the engine will only run on the starting fluid. Any thoughts?
