Re: When I hit the pedal it cuts the power on my 1949 22 series

A few ideas here:
First, on the acceleration issue, I strongly suspect that you have a bad accelerator pump. I'm assuming you have not yet rebuilt the carburetor? The accelerator pump will probably be attached to the throttle lever somehow. Example on a carburetor for the 55-56 cars below, though yours will be much different. You can get rebuild kits almost anywhere, also check the Parts Cross-Reference on the sidebar.
For the no-start, try turning the engine over a fraction by hand first then try again. It's pretty unlikely but if you have a tooth gone from the flywheel then it won't engage. If not that, then I would assume it must be a solenoid issue. Did you get a 6V, positive ground compatible solenoid?
You said it shorts out when you try to start it? Did you double-check the electrical connections? Negative wire to starter, positive terminal to ground strap.
