Check your tap as this was what had happened to mine when i bought it, i took the vacum out and it ran fine, but before it had exactly the same symptoms as your saying, i thought it was flooding too! I've tried putting a brand new vacum kit back in my tap but it still wouldn't run, started up with no throttle and it died when i revved it, so out came the vacum again!
I think this should be your problem mate take your tank off, whip the tap off, dismantle it and take out the diaphram, then see if she goes then.

can you get it to start on the choke?

let it warm up a bit before revving it and see how it goes?

Have you tried what i said the other day, definately worth doing as i reckon this is your problem. If it starts with choke you only have to give it a few seconds before revving it and if it dies then, the fuel is not getting through.
