I'd say your firing order is wrong. Either a crossed wire, or you're one wire off all the way around. Put #1 cylinder at top dead center, and see which distributor terminal the rotor is pointed at. I got a dollar says it ain't pointed at #1!

The original problem sounds like fuel flow. Dirty filter or maybe the float level is set too low.
