Fuel System

[Surfaces]

Ahoy I seem to have a small problem with my engine performance. I have a atomic 4 gas engine 1977.I had a problem with trash in the tank. I removed the gas line and blew through it which unclogged it. Ichanged the in line filter which was a mess. I think I read something about draining the fuel line, which I didn!t do. If I give it gas very slow its fine . If I do it normal the engine cuts out. Qustion 1 Am I suppose to bleed the gas line? Next . Iam having a problem now with starting up. Never had this before. Is there a simple way to adjust the carberator ? After I get it started which takes about sixteen cranks it will be ok except for accerating Thanks for any info Surfaces
