Parts arrived today.
So, carb rubbers have been installed. With wide portion of divider facing up and with the rubber tab facing the heads.

The bike started right up with the choke and not using the throttle at all. After it warmed up with would idle just fine.
But as soon as I tried to use the throttle it would just die.

I tried adjusting the pilot screws up in both directions and it made no difference except the exhaust started getting a whump whump sound to it.

Not sure if I should try what Robert had to do which was reverse the carb rubbers.
I don't quite understand why that worked for him.
I thought the next step was to again check the plugs to see if they went from lean to rich and if so put the 45 pilot jet in.
I am again open to input here.
