rx7 starting problem
 

I just got a '83 RX7 was able to drive it home a few miles ran ok. A few days later I tried to start it and it wouldnt start. I can hear the fuel pump and it has gas at the carb. Ignition works, if I pour some fuel in the carb it starts and runs for a moment or two then dies. looking in the carb and moving one of the cables I can see spray comming off (barrels on drivers side). Anyone have any idea whats up with it??

thanks in advance,
Mike Fender
