"I have a 9.8 76 with new plug

"I have a 9.8 76 with new plugs, rebuilt carb, including float good spark. It starts every time but wont stay idleing unless I constantly pull the choke out for a second. Everything in carb is very clean. Took out the Ildle jet and its clean. when I ajust the Idle screw, I can get it too run but way too high. HELP"
 
"by pulling the choke out you

"by pulling the choke out you richening the mixture. This tells us that its running lean, the carb is still dirty, float setting wrong, mixture screw wrong, or lack of fuel to carb."
