wont stay running

Carb rebuilt, Pilot screw 2.5 turns out, new choke starter (choke) plunger and spring. Starts fine, idles too high, blip throttle idles higher but soon lowers to almost stalling. Turn idle screw up revs up, blip throttle, idles down again and stalls. I keep adjusting idle, keeps stalling after it revs real high.
I have also confirmed that the vacuum actuated petcock is functioning properly, yet, there was a puddle of gasoline in the airbox
Could float need adjusting since it is allowing carb to overfill? maybe a new needle valve?
