After the carb rebuild, how far did you open both needles? Give the top one, low speed adjustment, about 1 1/2 turns out from lightly seated and the high speed needle, the bottom one, about one turn out. This will be more than enough to get the motor started and be ready to turn the low speed needle in a bit as soon as the motor starts.
If all else fails, convert the motor back to a pressure tank system and ignore that link explaining how dangerous pressure tanks can be. I wish I could delete that story from the interweb.
