318 Won't Start? And I tested as much as I could I think?

Liquid gasoline won't burn.

Starting fluid is bad.

The rods don't need the squirt hole. The cylinder walls get enough oil from the rod side clearance.

Between the decomposition of the fuel at firing and fuel wash when the intake opens engine oils are designed to seal the top ring without liquid oil at the top of the bore.

Well, I've used Gas to start fires before so it defiantly can burn. As for the current fuel it's in a brand new tank and some was taken out to check and it was crystal clear.
Another guy I know is helping and it is running, but very rough. He re-adjusted a bit more and the whole carb on the bench, and found the float too high, pump vent (to much travel), as well as a diaphragm only popping in and out instantly, on top of that the choke temperature switch. The suggestion from him is to return the carb I bought a year ago and start over again.
S.O.B. how could this be this much of an issue? It's a 2bbl Carb. I guess I'm at the point now where I will replace the carb and the choke temperature switch.
