Carb base insulator possibly missing?

Yup or maybe a vacuum leak, bad base gasket or a leak somewhere else.

Try dribbling gas down the carb throat with a small squeeze bottle and
see if it idles (fast).

You can listen for a vacuum leak with a piece of small hose. Hold one
end up to your ear and probe with the other. It helps to stick a ball
point pen barrel or other small tube on the probe end so you can
control it better..
