slight carb problem

hello, it had a leaky gasket but i changed that and it still stumbles when first cranked, warm or not. it keeps trying to die and unless i give it gas and rev it a couple times, it will. and i believe black smoke comes out when it starts. the choke is always open and i just replaced the air filter. the people i got it from said they rebuilt the carb. i think they may have misadjusted the float or something, what do you think.it also has a new pump and filter. it does not do it after every startup.
thanks all.

while the engine is running look down inside the barrels, if you see gas dripping inside while the throttle is not being opened you need to adjust the float level, what kind of carb is it???

you should rebuild it again to be sure, find a manual on it to set the floats properly, then u might look at your timing, alot of people confuse poor engine performance with carb trouble, when its alot of the time its in the timing or valves.....
