What happens here

Fuel is poured into the carburetor and the engine is cranked. It starts but immediately dies. After another attempt, Chris suggests that the timing might be slightly off. The car eventually starts and runs for a short period, confirming it's not a complete engine failure but likely a fuel or ignition timing issue.

Goal: Confirm engine functionality and identify potential issues with fuel delivery or timing.
