BIG CARB PROB - HELP! i need to get home!
well im in the middle of no where, and i stop off at a gas station and try to turn my car back on and its idling real rought, so me and bro get out, try to tune the idle mixture, his phone rings and he stops my car by putting his hands over the intakes and gas comes out and it dies, i freak out, wont start now cuz its flooded, i inject ATF down the barrels of the DCO/SP weber i have on this, finally it strarts up and its smoking, but its running SO rough and vibratinga LITTLE bit, smoking of course , i know thats normal, but its been 20 mins of running and it stills runs like theres no power, the idle mixture screws make lil or no differnce wether turned all the way in or out, runs like theres no power??? WHAT HAPPENED! im writing this on my pda and im stuck here, i cant get back on the highway with it running like this, it would take me 20 min to get to 10mph!

As its already been suggested, verify that you have spark on the leading side. Maybe your plugs are just fouled, or maybe you lost the leading and that's why it flooded in the 1st place...

Airflow is my life
Its flooded from what you described. Kill the fuel pump and crank it till shes running keeping your foot OFF the gas, or open the throttle slowly and keep it floored till it starts and revs up, then connect the pump once shes idling ok and get her home. If your near me I'd come out and give a hand but Im not in a condition to drive right now.
You may have to rev it to keep it running and not stall from the extra fuel. If you have a regulator, back off the pressure, it might help you get home. Where you at anyway?

the carb was flooded, and there was too much ATF in it, had to keep it at 6k for a min or two and it leveled out, and my plugs where somethin nasty from all the ATF.
