87 GXL wont start

Hi I have a 87 gxl that I bought from a kid that had it sitting for 7 YEARS.
i changed the oil, did a whole tuneup and put a new fuel pump and tank in(the old tank was rusted because the kid left the gas cap off whille it was sitting, water got in the , ect.)
So after alot of work i got it to turn on for 10-15 seconds but as soon as i touched the accelerator it died and now I cant get it to turn back on.
I think it keeps flooding because i always have to pull the spark plugs out to clean them.
it builds up good oil preassure when i am cranking continously
i am getting spark but it feels weak (i got shocked by putting my hand on there and it really wasnt anything haha)
Ive tested the restance on the coils: .8 ohms
also I think a pretty decent sized exhaust leak.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
