Info Request

Hi there, just a few questions if you dont mind;
1) have you checked the float level in the carby?
2) have you by any chance checked the fuel pressure and also for any leaks around the fuel pump?
3) have you noticed the oil level in the motor getting higher at all, and does it smell of fuel?
4)can you remove and check the spark plugs and lay them out in order and tell me if there are any that are fouled or carboned up and on which number cylinders are they?
5) when you put your foot on the brake does the engine run rougher or stall, and has the engine ever backfired while on gas?
6) can you check the point gap in the distributor and the condition -if not thats ok, can you see if the points are opening up, when the dizzy is turned?
7) looking down into the carb, snap open the throttle,is there a sharp shot of fuel come out or is it weak and limp?
8)With the engine running , can you lightly trickle water over the inlet manifold gasket and tell me if the engine stalls or dies?
9) If you pump the throttle before or while trying to start the engine (while on petrol) does this make it any easier to start the engine-as opposed to pouring fuel down the inlet?
Sorry for all the questions but if you could get back to me with these it will help me to pin point the exact issues you are having and point out a solution/s
