If you've got a strong stream there, then the gas to that point is 
okay. It could be something about the fuel pump, where gravity feed 
thru the pump with a full tank was filling the carbs as the car sat, 
but then they emptied once the engine started.

I don't know that much about carbs, so I'm guessing here. You need 
help from a carb person, but there are also ignition problems that 
can work for a few minutes and then peter out (coil going bad, etc.)

Any chance this is still the OG coil? They last forever, unlike the 
fancy ones that cost lots and don't work any better.
