A quick update: I took apart the carb and cleaned and blew out the float valves (and jetted up a size while I was at it). I also installed my fuel pressure gauge (I don't leave it on). The carb seems to be filling properly, and the fuel pressure to the carb is about 6.25 - where it should be. I started it up, drove it until warm, and went back home, as I didn't want to leave myself stranded. I let it heat soak for 10m and it started up this time. I also checked to see if the booster venturis were leaking fuel, per Gary, and they weren't. *Hopefully* the problem is solved and it was just a matter of debris in the float valves.
