The carb as well needs to be soaked and all orifices blown out with compressed air. Jets may be open but carb plugged up. Also how were jets cleaned, many will poke something thru the pilot jet enlarging it thus causing engine to run rich until 3/4 throttle and thats if it will even idle. Also what is the color of the spark plug.
