36 husky giving me the fits

[Mopar70]

i had a 36 husky given to me "125psi compression" what the heck make it run..
install new "re-pop" carburator, plug, air filter.
Fired right up and tuned in quite well, then found the clutch drum tko.
2 weeks later i got the new drum, put it together and it ran poor.
So i replaced the fuel line, runs a dite better but still no mid range throttle and wont hold an idle any longer then 10-20 seconds.
I ordered another 15 dollar special slow boat carb.
Any thoughts, dont really know what else to do?

Air leak? Piston or ring scored enough to just barely run?

Thanks for your reply.
Could very well be one or the other.
i will let you know the outcome of the second carb.
