General Carb Help, Non-Saab, From 9000 Owner

Hello --
I know next to nothing about carbs and don't know who else to ask about this, if any of you can offer advice I'd be very appreciative. I am working on an 86 Mazda truck which I bought non-running after it was sitting for 8 months or so. Supposedly it ran fine except needed a head gasket so I did that, carefully put the vacuum lines etc back, now it has no power (won't go above 25 mph), runs rough but starts OK if I give it gas. Smells like gas, and in fact I pulled the vacuum line going to the pvc valve and gas dripped out of the line (not the valve). So, apparently it's got something stuck/clogged that's making it flood? Any suggestions where to look or what to do? How about spraying everything with carb cleaner and then running a tank of some chemical (Seafoam?) through it?
Sorry to post this here, I just have no experience with carbs and am sort of lost. Thanks for any input.
Toby
