I have a 1960 something Fastwin that starts, runs for a few seconds and dies. I have tried adjusting the mixture knob to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated.

check your fuel pump or if it has set for a long period of time you may need a carb rebuild.

If the motor has been setting up for a while, you'll need to clean the fuel system, this includes removal and taking the carbs apart to clean them. Don't just spray carb cleaner thru the carbs with the carbs still mounted. You got to get in there and clean the jets, float bowl and needle. Also make sure the pickup in the tank is not blocked and you have no air leaks in the fuel system. Hope this helps.
