I guess at this point, I need to pull the carbs again and really go through #2 again with a fine tooth comb.
Anything that I am missing here?

... adjusted the float levels and put them back together....
Bench adjustment often misses the mark.
Would check levels in floatbowls using clear plastic tube test.

I would start with the basics! Is the #2 plug sparking?
Yes, the plug is firing.

Question1, what is the purpose of the plugs covering the pilot jets (not the air screws)? I mean this is where the engine is supposed to fuel during idle. Is there another passage that feeds fuel to the pilot jet from the side in between the jet and the plug?
Question2, in the bowl there is the needle valve, main jet and pilot jet. There is also a long metal tube that extends from the carb body down into the bowl. Does this feed fuel to the choke?

Could this be the overflow pipe?

Can you tell me how to get the needle jet out of the carb? Are they pressed in, screwed in or what. My manual doesn't tell me how to get them out.
