I could, but I'm not there and the quad is not here - it sounds like you have multiple problems.

First, disconnect the black wire at the CDI box to eliminate ignition as a potential problem - getting gas out of the carb if you hold your hand over the intake is normal - if it can't draw air it will draw fuel. Since it starts jumping the solenoid with a screwdriver, I suggest you fix the starter circuit first to get the solenoid to close using the starter button.
