Engine Cutting Out! What to check?

Geez I dunno. I rechecked that I wasn't 180 degrees out, rotated the distributor back and forth as my wife cranked it, made sure I had spark, looked to make sure it wasn't flooding while the pump was on, took the throttle and opened it up a couple times, tried once more and BOOM, started right up. Unbelievable. I guess I didn't give it enough gas or something the first time around, although it smelled like fuel like crazy. Ok I'm going to go crawl back in my hole and keep being an idiot now!
