Hey Paul ??

Not to sure what happened to your gorgeous 26 but I am thinking something simple ??? You need fuel spark and air to run a engine. If you do not have one of these its not going to run. And if you have to much of one (Fuel) its going to flood and not run also. Now for your 29 ?? Whats up with your carb.? I just got a brass carb bowl from John Meadows and will bring it over and maybe we or you can figure it out and make it work. I do not need it at this time and would love to see it working on someones Hudson. Just need to get all the seals and gaskets for it. At the Long Beach Vets swap meet their is someone that sells a variety pack of the seals that I was going to buy at the next meet. Let me know and I will drive my 29 over and drop the carb off and what ever else I have that might work. Good luck, Ron
