The other thing to check is if the Needle Jet (sometimes called a jet nozzle) above the main jet holder tube is in the correct way round.
If you look at it, the way is obvious, but many do not inspect and just put them back in.The top has a concave curve where the bottom is flat.
I have been given carbs to look at with with these jets missing because they had fallen out when the owner was cleaning them. He didn't notice and couldn't get the bike to run right when he put them back together. Mostly they are in wrong.
Use a very fine smear of plain grease (NGL2) on the float bowl seal when reassembling. Great thing about grease it that any excess dissolves in the petrol and doesn't block anything.
Might be worth while changing the O ring on the float valve and the main jet as you have them off.
