If your Float Bowl Vent Solenoid is not working, it will cause fuel to flow into the carb after shutdown. That is where I would start looking.

Well I know I have spark, I can start it will starting fluid. So I am ruling out the first issue. The second one would be how hard is it to change the float bowl vent solenoid... also what does this exactly do? Also would FBVS prevent the car from getting fuel into the carb?
