Sounds like fuel starvation to me.  Seeing you had the carb off I suppose it could be a vacuum leak.

Take a propane bottle, put a hose on it, start the engine and apply propane to the joints that could possibly leak, the propane will make the engine rev up if you put it near a leak.

Im more leaning to the fuel starvation cause...  but seeing you messed with it...
