Default 351 windsor problems

Hi guys
I wonder if anyone could shed some light on this.
I finished assembling my cobra in the summer of 09. The engine cranked over fine everytime I fired it. Then I put it in the body shop that winter and it was sitting there for over a year.
Eventually this February I took matters into my own hands and went to the bodyshop to finish it myself.
I finally got it this month and finished assembly.
Firing the engine is not easy! I need to get some gas in the carburator to get it going and then mentain it at over 2,000 rpm to keep it going.
Below it and it keeps dying.
I have the 351 windsor with the eddlebrock 600 cfm carb and auto chock.
never tuched the timing or the ignition system (msd 6L).
I 'm thinking the carburator needs to be cleaned/rebuild?
Any suggestions, thank you.
