At first I think I was making too large of adjustments but I also think it's been running extremely rich all along and when I was leaning it out and it acted like it was bogging down and not shifting into second, there was either something wrong with the transmission or something wrong with the flywheel. Running extremely rich is the only reason I can think of as to why there's so much fuel everywhere unless there is a leak somewhere.
And yes I can turn the flywheel by hand and it doesn't move the piston inside when I had the glow plug out nor does it move the wheels. It turns, acts like it's catching on something and then goes right past it and repeats. I'll pull it out and look at it and try to figure out what's wrong with it eventually but right now I'm kind of annoyed by it.
couple things,
if you have fuel all over your car and you didn’t spill you have to find the leak.. if you can turn the flywheel and it’s not turn over the engine it’s loose, if it’s loose it is probably worn out to the point where it will never fully tighten. So you need a new one.. these two things must be fixed for the engine to run. If you don’t fix those 2 things it will never run properly
