only feul coming out of one out of four barrels in the carb

i have an unusual problem with my carb. its a four barrel and there is only feul coming out of one of the smaller barrels. i have never dealt with one of these carbs so i have no clue about how these work. also there is feul coming out of the air vent solenoid. once again i do not have much experience with carbs.

probably some trash clogging it. the bigger jets wont squirt until the secondaries open.

with the fuel pump on but the car not running, try pinching off the fuel line and releasing it a few times to dislodge some of the mess inside the carb.
