I am guessing your float level should be 18mm. Mine was at 18 and I dug up some info from somewhere that specd 18.5mm. Check the link I posted for the proper way to check it. If you are running rich on the low side, why would you want to go larger on your pilot? Like stated before, use the air/fuel setting to determine the correct pilot jet size.

I just re-read your first post. The air/fuel setting suggests going larger on the pilot jet. I would still only change one thing at a time. If the float level is off, adjust it, then reset the air/fuel screw. If the float level checks out, change the pilot, then reset the air/fuel screw. Once you have the pilot dialed in, move to the main jet. Make sure the engine is at operating temp when adjusting the air/fuel screw and any other carb tuning.

Fyi my air/fuel was set at 1.25 out from the factory. Mine seemed to like 4-5 turns out better, like yours. I have a 38 pilot in now, which seems to keep the air/fuel screw at close to 2 turns out.
