No Idle
It seems that if you had enough fuel in the float bowl that it needed draining, then there was enough fuel for the engine to run. We're missing something.
As I understand it, after you changed the jets, it would start, but it wouldn't idle. It would start and die, start and die. You changed the jets back, but it did the same thing. Right? Have you pulled the plugs to take a look at them. If they are all black, then it is running super rich. The plugs could be fouled at this point.
By any chance, could you have put the jets in the wrong place? I know on some carbs they are threaded the same, and on others they are different sized threads. Just another possibility to consider since putting it back the way it was didn't seem to help.
Just a thought, FWIW.
