Ok ,
way to rich on bottom and maybe lean on top.
I would start with 42 pilots , 3 turns out on the mix screws.
then take it for a ride. if it has trouble getting over 80 or 90 easily, it is to lean on top.
as far as the way you pulled the needle , that is the way I
do it.
just be careful with the rubber diaphram it is delicate.
as far as the gas from the intake , when I had that problem
it was a bad float.
yours may just be stuck or you may have something out of wack when you put the carb back together.
pull the bowls and check to see the float is moving freely.
I have found bikes with to large of a pilot can idle ok and
pull well just off throttle but lack power at the top if the
main is not large enough.
the carb has to much fuel fuel to burn when you open the
throttle it pulls hard because of the added air.
but if the main is to small it burns of the extra fuel from
the to large pilot and leans out on top .
drop the pilot and raise the main.
