air getting in through the gaskets?
flange needs to be flat when bolting carb to inlet manifold. Amal do say, over tightening the two bolts can distort the flange.

if the cable is a bit of a tight run then it may not seat but as above , the ferrule can come out if cable not adjusted correctly or wrong one fitted.
have you got a choke? are all the parts there?, if choke not fitted is the hole in the cap plugged

Check the mounting flange is flat.
