Larry, you didn't mention what year car or carb you have, but if it is the
later ZS 150 with the adjustable (throught the top) needle, pull out the
air piston and make sure the jet hole (that the needle goes in to) is
round, not egg-shaped.
If the spring-loaded needle has worn the jet, you will get a rich condition
that will require a new carb. (Been there, done that.)
