I put it into gear and it dies.

Which is why I mentioned vacuum leak
Yeah it likely has a small vacuum leak becuase when I was readjusting the float and putting the carb top back on, one of the back screws just broke in half. I was not even tightening it down yet, I was just working all the screws down before the final tighten. It looked perfect, no rust or anything. not even crossthreaded. I could not get it out since it broke in the hole so I just had to get a mini c-clamp and clamp it over the bolt.
I sprayed ether all around it when it was running and it didn't idle down so I think it's alright.Screenshot_20220107-092844.jpg
