If it is the carburetor that is gurgling, then it seems you are experiencing the dreaded vapor lock. So, how does the engine run after it has set for a half-hour or so ?

I find that installing the fuel line so that it is completely pointing down hill, a carb to manifold spacer and/or a carb heat shield helps.
