A lot of carb problems are something else such as ignition, timing, and often vacumn leaks. Check fuel pump volume and pressure and most important the filter. Carbs like to be clean inside with proper level of fuel. Gas doesn't store well especially in carbs when the light stuff evaporates quickly leaving behind the heavy stuff to clog little passages .

Sounds like it running too rich or actually flooding. Needle valve bad or dirty. If you have a plastic float they get "heavy" and don't float at proper level raising level of fuel in bowl too high.
