new carb problem

[mystery]

narrowed everything down to having carb problems and ive takin it apart about 5 times now but issue im having is my primarys arent opening to idol revs perfect but cant get any idol... let it soak in a cleaning acid due to the bowls being filled about halfway with gunk... looks perfectly clean but only thing i havent eleminated yet are the floats but im running out of optios on this one and ready to get this car on the road. anyone have this problem ive swapped out all the sensors and had a rebuild kit that i used all the parts to. when i origionally cleaned everything i let the floats soak in gas and they floated the whole time so it led me to believe they where fine. its a nikki off a 83.
