Could be any of the following:
Carburetor still not clean.
Air leak in the intake boots (cracked or not seated properly)
Carburetors out of balance.
Problem with the enrichment circuit.
Leaky shaft seals.
Just throwing these out there for you to consider. Good luck.

The 29 and 28's look completely different. The throttle shaft is in front of the 29 carb and in back of the 28. The idle screw is in a different place too. It's the one with the big dial, that sets your idle. You lower it, adjust your mixture screws to the highest RPM, lower it again, adjust until there is no difference achieved. You should wait ten seconds each time you make the adjustment of the mixture screws so the circuit can catch up. Mikuni International has a page on this procedure.
