Default Help engine stalls

I need some advice. I recently purchased a 29 Open cab pickup with a Model B engine, Zenith Model A carburetor.
The idle is good, I reset it yesterday, rest the timing just to be sure. After starting, with a warm engine the engine stalls when trying to accelerate past 25 MPH, the GAV is set from a half to a full turn CCW.

The only way to get it to accelerate past 25 is to hold the choke out half way and then the engine will accelerate.

I am suspecting all the usual suspects like coil, condenser, but I think this time it is definitely a fuel related problem. According to the previous owner the carb was rebuilt about eight years ago and the car parked since then.

Should I be thinking about rebuilding the carburetor? Please advise
