It does seem like the enricher circuit isn't working.
After the enricher replacement didn't fix anything, I'd say your next step is complete carburetor disassembly and cleaning. It sounds like the supply line to the enricher valve (or the jet itself) may be plugged. Drain the fuel tank too, while you're at it, there may have been junk inside it when you bought it.
An ultrasonic cleaning bath will work wonders for this, but you should be able to quickly check the passage by spraying one end with carb & choke cleaner (through a straw) and seeing if you get a small stream out the other side of the passage. The passage is usually in the lower part of the float bowl, and connects the area with the main jet, to the area with the autoenricher jet.
Then check the enricher jet itself, the same way.
With the complaints about performance, it is distinctly possible that the carb has somehow been gummed up, although to be honest I would never expect it to happen that quickly.
