I"d hold off on the carb replacement for a minute. First thing I"d do is a search in the archives for correct fuel flow and running rich. For fuel flow you remove the plug on the bottom of the carb and time how long it takes to fill a small container. This will tell ya if you have any fuel restrictions. If you had alot of rust you might not of got it all the first time. I think it was 3 or 4 minutes to fill 1 or 2 cups. Something like that.
If you have to pull the choke to get her to run (in other words enriching the fuel mixture) then your spark plugs don"t need as much spark to ignite the fuel. Which means that you"ve got weak spark. So the components the other posters told ya about need to be checked. I"d start with the Plugs to make sure you"re getting a good blue spark and then work back to the ignition switch (which is usually the cause of the weak spark). Check you wire connections make sure they are clean and tight. And check your ground off of the battery. I'd ground that off of one of the dash mounting bolts.
Do those searches there's no telling how many times these very issues have been posted and answered by the Gurus around here.
