Did you actually poke something through all the passages, or just soak them in cleaner?  Last time I had that problem (a vertical
shaft mower that had been left full of fuel), the main jet had some kind of hard deposit that none of my solvents would touch.  I
had to literally chip it out with a dental pick.  Ran fine after that.
