And dont have the vents capped off and be sure they are open. Atmospheric pressure helps equal fuel hts AND makes it possible for fuel to be efficiently sipped up the main jets and needle jets.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550
NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

...interesting- I have the same carbs but my "pull-choke" knob is on the left. oh well...
You haven't mentioned the "Choke".If the bike is too lean this is a way to add a bit of gas. It's the wrong way at running temperatures, but may give a better clue than tweaking the idle-mixture.
...given that everything is air-tight and clean, are you are adjusting your idlemix screws for "best running" and then add a 1/2 turn or so?.. If you are able to do this, noticing a change in the engine as you lean or richen, I don't think you can do more with them and perhaps should look elsewhere....if you changed the main jets, I'm out of my depth but you might look into checking the adjusted height of the (vacuum-operated ) throttle jet needles.
