I wouldn't worry too much yet about where the #1 plug wire is on the distributor cap. That's a refinement "back to stock" that can wait for the moment, if you've gotten the thing to run better. People stab the distributor wrong all the time, myself included, and just move the wires accordingly until it runs. The difference is that I would go back and make it right to stock. AussieinNC has it exactly right, your carburetor is flooding. Fuel spilling out the accelerator pump rod hole is a classic symptom of that. IMO, first order of business is to take the carburetor back to the shop. If you can remove it yourself without voiding the "warranty" I'd recommend that. Flooding that much fuel into the engine can badly dilute the oil. In fact, I'd recommend checking your oil level, and sniffing the dipstick (away from the engine) for gasoline fumes.

MEANWHILE, is there someone on this board who can steer this poor fella to a reputable shop in his area!?
