I see fuel in your vid.
Definitely flooding.

When they did your carb, did they give you back the gaskets and parts they replaced. Most good shops do that.

A reputable shop will ask you up front if you want the old parts. Generally, people say no, because who wants an old oil filter or some such? But the shop should be able to show you the old parts. In this case, enough time has passed that the old parts (if actually removed) are long gone. This practice stems from days of yore when AAMCO transmissions used to fleece people on a regular basis. Anyone near my age (65) has probably seen where the fecal missiles hit the rotating blades that they got into, back in the late '60s to early '70s. They have probably cleaned up their act, but I've had family members that they tried to rip off, as well, back in the '70s.
