pull the yellow wire off of the starter relay to disable the starter then with a helper: with key "on" and held to "start" the coil positive primary terminal and the blue/yellow ECU terminal need to be hot (2 key positions/2 terminals= 4 checks) (plus the red/green ECU terminal if an OE 5 pin ECU (OE 5 pin ECU has a functioning 5th pin that is fed by the red/green wire). I'd seperate/clean the bulkhead first

Most likely some debris in one of the carbs needle and seats, I would just replace them both, reset the floats and try it. I assume the carb hasn't been apart for awhile?

What Sheldon said, replace the needle/seat assys, set the floats (dry then wet/idleing) & you'll be fine. good filter in front of carb. Wix is good

When i pulled the plug off the front bowl a lot of gas came out. Like it was filled to the top. Would a clogged needle cause that? How would that make my car die after driving for 20 miles? (1) yes (2) it took that long for the flooding to reach a critical mass bad enough to kill the eng, it can leak some or a lot & it varies
