Dead Carb.....

OK guys, I need your help on this one. My car starts fine but dies after about 3 seconds. Touch the gas pedal and it instantly dies. I had a rich exhaust code come on for a second earlier in the day but it was still running fine, then all of a sudden it just shut off. I replaced the fuel pump, filter, and fuel lines, they needed to go antway. There are no vacuum leaks that I can find and all linkages are correct. The choke still works fine too. Is there a way to determine if the M/C solonoid is bad? Could it be some debris clogged inside or is it something else? Is it worth the money to rebuild the carb or should I replace it, the car just rolled over 100,000 miles. Thanks for the help
