I just rebuilt my carb and now I do not have wet plugs.
Is there a step by step procedure to rebuild and rest a 1 barrel carb?

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak

No fuel on the plugs.

Not sure the problem.. Usually, wet plugs is a sign of carb problems, not dry.
Dry is good unless you are pumping and pumping and never get any gas to run.
Need more data... If it's not starting, check for fuel at the carb, and if not,
keep going backwards to the fuel tank until you find the problem.
Could be clogged filter, lines, bad pump, etc.. If you are getting gas
to the carb, check for stuck needle/float assembly, parts installed wrong, etc..
With a normal running truck, the plugs if pulled should be dry, and have a
light tan color. Should not be wet, or have oil residue on them. Wet is a sign
of way too rich, leaking diaphrams, excess pumping to start, etc..
I'll assume you have a carter YF..
