welcome to the forum. check to see that the idle screw is backed out most of the way, check to see if there is a vent hole open or missing a hose, or a plug to allow air into the carb. check to see that the throttle is not stuck open, and can be closed. or get the same carb you took off, match it at the auto parts place.
