Won't idle off of choke...

Put everything back together- didn't idle.
Checked valve clearance, it was too tight.
Changed shims- now everything is back into spec.
Still won't idle.
Took jets apart, made sure pilots and mains were clean. Shot some air into the pilot holes to make sure passages were clean.
Still won't idle without choke on.
Any ideas??

There are little tiny passageways in the bodies of the carbs that also have to be clean. I have had numerous people send me their carbs saying they have cleaned them and can't get them to work only for me to find out they were not even close to being clean.
