I am getting the impression the carb he is using is brand new? If that is the case, why send it out for a rebuild?
When you try to run it and then it stops, look down the carb throat right after it stops with the aircleaner off. Do you see liquid fuel dripping? If you do, it is flooding.
If you do not see liquid fuel, are you having to pull the choke door back to look down inside the carb throat?

Maybe it is some cheap Motorcraft/ Autolite clone that you will never get to run correctly. When I was a regular on a Jeep forum the guys would always complain about the Weber clones that they could not get to run right.

Chokes can be aggravating to get right. Do you have a wire to the choke cap? If you want to take the choke out of the picture, you can loosen the 3 screws on the cap, and twist the cap while holding the throttle open (engine off) till the choke door opens straight up. Caution, once you do this, the engine will be stubborn to start and run when cold. You will have to pump the pedal to the floor 3 times before cranking cold, and then you will have to pat the gas pedal a little bit to keep it running till it warms up. If you want to try the choke in some sort of mid-position between closed and open you can. I would advise you to mark the cap position where it was when you started as a reference.
The choke has linkage on the carb that makes the engine idle fast when cold. The choke also "chokes" the air off to the engine to make it run richer when it's cold. If the choke never opens up, all this will still be in play when the engine is warmed up and there is no way you can tune it like this.
