Bradley,

Since it runs for a few seconds, then shuts off, you've likely got most things correct enough which is a great start.

The engine may be shutting off for a number of reasons, but idle related settings and fuel related settings are most likely going to relate to this.

You may want to try a little higher target idle speed since you have a decent size cam.

You may need a bit more fuel since it runs perhaps until extra post start enrichment reduces.

Since you're just getting started, and have a very modified setup, it will take some tinkering, but that's half the fun.
