You sure all 4 cylinders are running? Spray some water on the headers to see if all 4 are heating up.

It sounds like something is wrong with the pilot circuit. Were you able to blow air through the carb body where you took the pilot jet out? Sometimes the carb body itself is blocked. Were you able to get a small piece of wire through each pilot jet?
