I have not found any intake/vacuum leaks so I'm guessing something is still wrong with the carb and I'm working on finding a replacement.

In any case, it is running well enough to drive now.
idle circuit is plugged up or its possible wrong gaskets. Carb kits usually have
many gaskets your idle circuit probably covered up by the wrong lower gasket
