Question freshly rebuilt 2150 problems

I just rebuilt the motorcraft 2150 on my 85 bronco and now it backfires when i let off the gas and if i put it in gear and "power brake" it just dies. tried adjusting the float to no avail, and played with mixture screws "which is a pain in the a** by the way." Also it backfired once through the carb and now that little plastic orange/redish cup that sits by the float has one of the edges melted about a 1/4" down. What is this part called and where can I find one (none of the part stores carry them). Thanks.

sure you have the vacum lines hooked up correctly. this might be a good time to buy a 4barrel carb/intake.
