You mentioned you had high fuel pressure earlier....you must have a regulator in line and limit pressure to 2.5-3 lbs max. Check the float levels and system for debris. Pull the idle jets and check THEM for debris plugging the fuel entry at the bottom. It doesn't take much to plug ten up. Also the jest must seat firmly in the bottom of the carburetor body. Look at the conical end of the jet for a circular ring indicating it is fully seating and will thus pull fuel from the main well.
