Carb Questions

I have a '71 1.7 914 that has a single carb mounted from the PO. He said it was a Weber but I'm not sure. The only markings I have found are located on the base and they read:
R7760 1990
I would appreciate anyone who can identify this carb because right now the car runs horribly. There is no choke hooked up. The only connections made are the fuel line and the accelerator cable. When I finally get it started, it runs smooth and idles great, but when I step on the gas, it sounds as if I'm choking the car with gas and it wants to die. The accelerator wants to stick also and I believe it is the linkage on the carb because Ireplaced the throttle cable and pedal but it hasn't helped. I plan on replacing with original FI but I just want to get it running right now. Thanks.
