Sounds more like you got a float problem. 72's should ok for the engine you have.

Your sig. says it is a DP--80508 is a 750 vac. sec. Are you sure your carb is not flooding over? Is your choke hooked up--if not is your choke butterfly wide open?

It's not the jets, stock jets are always fairly close to what you need. Only need to go up or down a couple of sizes to optimise.
It's either sticking floats, change needle valves and check levels. Or the power valve is leaking, change for new one with gasket.
