Default 89 Marathon just wont run

Ignition is fixed, new carb off Amazon and still only will run on full choke and not very well at that. Fuel pump is new as well. I noticed fuel dripping from the intake side of the carburetor when I had the air tube off. Any suggestions?? Getting ready to scrap this thing.

The air tube might have openings on the side (not regular nipple), if so keep the tube off, double check the float level, it is very important and most of the aftermarket carbs are off.

Make sure all gas line fittings are clamped.
