Is it sticking or is it sinking? Floats could be filling up with fuel.

i reckon its probably sinking but i would know as this is my first carb car..

Yeah sounds like sinking man. Pretty easy, get some new floats and replace.
To be sure about the floats, take your carb apart (doesn't need to come off the engine) and put your carb floats in some water. Do they sink? Problem found
