It's running rich ... perhaps it has a blown power valve (if it has one) or perhaps the choke is stuck?

Rebuilt carbs have to be set up too. Before throwing $$ at a rebuilt carb the OP should have his vehicle properly analyzed. He does not say when the "troubled" carb was serviced - nor by whom....
