I get this with my Ruby and the liquid that runs out of the exhaust is black with the carbon in the exhaust pipe.If you manage to get it to run long enough it will dry our and the liquid and white smoke will go. With regards the cutting out check your fuel pump is working correctly. Take the bowl of your carb off and manually operate the pump with the priming lever or crank the engine and petrol should jet out from the needle valve assembly on the carb. If you are getting petrol then I tend to think it is more of an ignition problem and the usual checks for a spark at the plugs.

fuel is coming from needle, no problem, black unburnt fuel is bubbling from number 4 spark plug? spark plugs are all working fine, very confusing...
I am not sure what you mean "black unburnt fuel is bubbling from number 4 spark plug" - I don"t think this is your running problem but have you got good plug gaskets and are the plugs seated firmly home ?
