You say you bought your carb used...

My 1406 had this exact problem, especially after hot starts (the truck had sat for a few years before I bought it). The shop that fixed it replaced the needle valves and blew crud out of the carb and well as installed a carb spacer. Don't know if this helps but thought I would throw it out there...
