Engine Not Turning Off..

well I met my deadline of having my GT ready by Thanksgiving, but it won't be on the road

Three things still need to be fixed..
One is, after I turn the key off.. and take it out, the motor still runs. This makes no sense because I never did any wiring or anything with the ignition. I tried searching.. but really didn't know what to look for.
Second is, the motor rev's REALLY high.. at like 4000 or so RPM. I tapped the gas to disengage the choke, didn't do anything. Tried adjusting the throttle.. doesn't do anything either.
Third is, a very large gas leak somewhere around the carb. Still haven't looked into this.. so I can't really go about trying to figure it out yet. All the gaskets were installed correctly with 'gasket sealer' and all bolts were torqued to spec. Grandpa rebuilt the Solex.. so I'm hoping something isn't messed up there..

Any comments on where to start, mainly on the subject in the title, are greatly appreciated!
