You are correct in that your carbs are not adjusted properly.
Your car should run on its own without the need to press the gas to keep it running. It should start on full choke and continue on its own as you slowly push in the choke knob.

Have your guy redo the carbs or take it to someone who knows how to adjust them properly. Or use this as a learning experience and try it yourself.

There are mighty few people I trust carbs to, especially since Jim Taylor died here in Bartlesville.
Best bet is to learn how they work and do them yourself.
Then, at a bare minimum, you KNOW what has been done to them, and when you can't find good
help, you can do it yourself.

Good man! It is hard to find a mechanic that knows enough about carbs to remove and clean the jets. Sounds like he didn't tighten down the jets enough and now your are pouring gas through the carb at a tremendous rate. Jetting carbs is not science, but an art that is realized over many years of trial and error.
