They were all matt. (meaning that it was running rich?)

I actually changed the spark plugs a month ago, hoping it would solve the problem so i don't know if it would be of much help. Old ones were black. Also turning the CO screw out (should add more fuel to the mixture) doesnt solve the idling problem, it only seems to get better for a moment.

Actually i already cleaned it, im not sure if the problems were there before the rebuild but they are now. Also it didnt pass emissions because it was running too rich.

I havent driven the car that much, maybe a few hundres km but havent noticed a drop in the oil level. Cant say anything about the coolant because I just finished fixing several leaks.

Hello! Once the car warms up, the idle gets rough. Revs start jumping up and down. It got better after I fixed a vacuum leak in the base gasket. (engine dies when unplugging the idle cutoff valve but stays running when the CO screw is all the way in). Also, I replaced the manifold gasket. The second problem I have is that I believe ice forms in the carb when driving in colder weather. (after about 17 min, the gas pedal stops responding, and eventually, the car dies). I don't have the heater element and it seems to be impossible to get as well but the air intake gets warm air from on top of the exhaust manifold. The last problem is that a lot of white smoke comes out of the tailpipe even when the engine is warm. (I tried changing the head gasket but it didn't change anything).
