One detail ,often overlooked especialy after a carb cleaning is the float level. too low will cause a full throttle miss and show a lean condition. too high a level will cause iradic idle, bogging down at part throttle but will run fairly smooth on top end. but will show rich.
remove float bowl , invert, hold level, let the float sit natural. float should sit paralel with the edge of the bowl. don't push or pull on the float it's self! slightly bend tab at the needle and seat to adjust. Don't push the needle valve into the seat!
