It runs for 2 secs so it's not ignition

Pull a plug, put a screwdriver in there and note when it's TDC,  
confirm valves are not rocking, see if other marks line up

Swap carbs from a know good one, not just parts.

Place a crucifix on the dash and for good measure some salt in  a  
circle surrounding the car.
