The Ford Barn

Hopefully someone here can help me out with my carb issue. I have a 1951 f1 with a stock flathead v8. I put a replacement carb from national carburetor 3 years ago, truck ran great. A couple months ago the power valve was leaking, so I replaced it with one that was rated too low, so it was flooding out. Just went through the carb and put a correct power valve and kit from vintage speed, now the carb has to have a little more than 1/4 choke or it dies. I have checked for air and vaccum leaks, carb runs 17in hg of vaccum at idle. I thoroughly cleaned the carb when I had it down, probably only had 100 miles on it when I tore it down. I have checked and replaced the vaccum advance. What recommendations does anyone have?
