I can't imagine a stuck choke on an otherwise properly working carb causing THAT much fuel to get into the engine that it was squirting out the plug hole. It would be going out the exhaust as the engine turned over.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

You may want to clean the spark plugs too. I am sure they are fuel fouled. Burn the tips with a lighter and clean them with brake clean. That may get it to fire up....

The poster needs to hire a good mechanic for one hour and the car would be running. I disagree. This guy is in a steep learning curve and honest in his descriptions. When he has fixed the issue, he will be wiser and more talented, than if a mechanic fixes it and takes his money. Cudos to everybody who steps in to help him. Ragnar in Iceland

hi guys,
finally got some time this weekend, worked on the car a little bit.
was able to pry open the plate, it works fine now.
interesting new discovery: when throttling, the gas is not spraying from the jet, instead it is flowing like a facet. way too much gas. it wanted to start, but then always have big loud backfire.
it is a eldelbrok 4 barrel, there are two screws in the front to adjust air mixer, no matter what I do with them, still too much gas.
please help.
