Default 03 Polaris Pred 500 carb problems

Having problems getting my predator to run correctly

Was sitting for around 10 years. So I cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor and replaced the fuel pump. Fires up and idles strong but dies and coughs smoke out of the breather on carb when given the slightest throttle. Checked the spark plug(stock) and it was black(replaced with NGK iridium). Also lowed the needle hight 1 and 2 levels to see if that would lean it out. That didn’t seem to help anything. Are there any vacuum lines on the carb that I’m missing? can’t find any schematics that show anything. And just stuck on what to try next. Note: not very experienced on this hence it’s for a school project and my instructor is lost to.

If you leave choke on half choke does it run better after throttle up? check intake manifold for leaks[spray with wd40] see engine dies.Does it have a good air filter?
