Did you replace the needle valve and seat? Is the float set at the specified height? Is the float NOT rubbing on the sides of the fuel bowl so as to restrict movement?
Do not guess at the float height. The engineers who designed that carb got paid pretty good money to figure out the optimum float height setting and we common grease monkeys are only fooling ourselves if we think we can outguess them.
Here's a little hint. With the carburetor off, hold it up to your ear and turn it upside down, and then rightside up again. You should be able to HEAR the float moving. If you can't hear it moving, it is hanging up on the sides of the carb. Also, put your mouth on the fuel inlet fitting while holding the carb right side up and blow into the fitting. You should notice only a slight amount of resistance. Now, turn the carb upside down and blow again. If the float and needle valve are working correctly, you WILL NOT be able to blow into the fitting.
