Planning first engine build, need help

I had rebuilt it prior to parking it, so i thought maybe i just didnt have a good seal on an intake valve. out side of the power valve what else could be suspect in the carb?

Impossible to determine over the internet. I would START by getting a reading on the vacuum gauge warmed up at idle and go from there. If it's smoking pretty bad, I would highly suspect the power valve. One more time. HOW DOES IT IDLE? DO you have a video? Please take one if not and post it. A GOOD QUALITY video, not something that looks like a blind drunk shot it.
