WGD carburator with a mind of its own

hi All i have rebuild my WGD carb with a new kit, bcz it was running about 5 galons on one mile , i set it to all specs.( float etc.) but some things still dont run that good.
for instance the engine only runs and idles with the choke set very loose, it has to be half open to get the engine started, also the engine doesnt react on the 2 screws for idle mixture, i can turn the screws clockwise till they are shut, and still the engine idles at the same speed.

could the choke problem be due a bad vacuum? (it wont open when i set the choke valve to the manual specifications)

the engine runs tho, smooth idle, and also runs good at high speed, still drinking more then i do.

but i dont think its normal for the choke valve to be open all the time, anyone any ideas where to look at?
