Thank you so much for your details! Does the carburetor rebuild kit usually come with instructions on what the correct float level should be, or is that something I’d have to look up?
It sounds to me like wherever you took it just adjusted the carburetor, but probably didn't crack it open to look at it or rebuild it.
Go ahead and order a new EGR valve, a carburetor rebuild kit, and get some vacuum hose for your lines.
Mark/document every vacuum line's location, where it goes, and where it comes from.
Pull the carb off and rebuild it (if you aren't sure which one you have, pull your air cleaner off and snap some pics of the carb, especially the tag in front if it is still there). It probably has a layer of varnish in it that needs to be cleaned. You might also have some rust in there if your tank is dirty. You can set the proper float height, install a new accelerator pump, etc all at the same time. Probably the best 40-50 bucks you'll spend on it.
With the carburetor off you can pull off the EGR plate and clean it before reinstalling it and the new EGR valve.
Then go through the vacuum lines one at a time and replace.

It does come with very good instructions. Figure out which carburetor you have first. Other than the written instructions Mike's Carburetors has a lot of step by step youtube videos which are extremely helpful.
