73=rich, 74=O2 sensor not switching because it stays high for extended time due to the over rich condition.
check vaporizer primary pressure, 2 - 3 psi.
check vacuum lines to and from trim valve for vacuum leaks, kinks, etc.
If mixer (carb) has been replaced as you state, the idle air has to be reset.
What color is the secondary diaphram in the vaporizer, if it is tan colored it has been known for heavy ends from fuel to bleed through diaphram then they get drawn into trim valve causing it to stick. Later diaphram is blue.
Also check the balance fitting at top of carb, should be an orfice not just a normal fitting.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
