check in this order
-Float setting
-is the accelerator pump working correctly, you check this by moving the carb linkage, with the engine off and looking down the carb and see if if you see a shot of gas
-Manual choke, is the cable adjusted correctly, is the choke fully open when the choke cable on the dash is pushed all the way in.

-incorrectly adjusted float will cause a flooding condition
bad accelaeror pump will cause a miss/hesitation on acceleration
incoreclty adjusted choke will cause a rich condition

R45 should be the correct heat range
