FC mystery problem

my fc n/a is running rich and rough doesnt start unless its push started and than tries to die....i thought it was clogged cat cuz it was bright red and sounded like *** ive took main cat off and replaced with test pipe and gutted the other 2 cats hooked everything back up and tried to start but wouldnt turn over first thought was the spark plugs ive changed those and still didnt start up than we push started it again and still runs rich but still runs rough and tries to die....i have no clue what it could be

Sounds like the injectors may be sticking open too long. That will cause flooding, making push starting necessary and account for the glowing cats. Time to pull the injectors and send them out for cleaning.
