Need help with Rochester Monojet carb

After a long hiatus of working on my projects I’m back to fiddling with the online 6 250 in the original 72. The carb was all varnished up after years of sitting so took it all apart noting all settings and such and rebuilt it. Was meticulous about cleaning and soaked overnight in carb cleaner gallon. This morning I went through and made sure every single passage was spotless and could blow air through as well as run wire through gently. Put on the engine and gave just a bit of gas down the barrel to help fire off. Started right up and ran fine for about 15 seconds (half throttle) and then it started to have this rushing air sound and it died. I can get it to fire and run momentarily and then it dies again making the same sound. This electric choke setup on here is Greek to me. Also are these two ports in the following pictures supposed to be open? I plugged them with fingers while was running and didn’t help anything. Not 100
Percent sure I got the cams on the throttle and choke shafts quite right but I sure thought I had. Does anyone have pictures of theirs in a working arrangement? Thanks again, Matt
