How long did it sit before you bought it?

Every gasket and probably the accelerator pump inside has dried up and cracked.

If you need a field pump or carb rebuilt, Then and Now Automotive in Weymouth does great work. I had problems with both but got them done about 3 years ago and haven't had a problem - with them - since.
