Default Mustang 50 engine help

Hi Guys
I was at a flyin last weekend and a friend has a mustang 50 in a Bravo, the combo is great. He started having some issues last year with it and another fellow was trying to sort it out, but I guess didn't get it done.
Top end and midrange runs fine and for that matter so does the bottom end, but heres the deal when coming in for a landing the engine will die most of the time,( its not idled down to slow either) I did open the bottom end up a little thinking it may have been lean and reset the top, seems as though the 2 needles over lap each other quite alot in this engine.
I know the carb had a rebuild last year by the guy that was trying to sort it out. He dosen't have a tube soldered on the diaphram cover yet and ran into the fuse but i'm thinking that may be next. IMHO I still think its the needles.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
