Fixed - sort of

Tore the carb back down and reset the float - that seems to have fixed the running rough problem. However, the engine still has trouble around 2000 rpm.
The engine starts almost instantly, runs great at idle, and runs great at 2500-3000 rpm. However, the transistion from idle to full speed is rough. If I try to set the throttle to 2000 rpm, the engine either bogs down and the RPM's drop - or it surges up to 3000.
I'm assuming that there is something wrong with the mid circuit in the carb. The engine acually did this before I rebuilt the carb so maybe there is something wrong in the carb that I missed or that the rebuild kit didn't cover. Any suggestions on what to look at next?
I will say the engine starts a 1000 times better after the rebuild. Just breathe on the ignition and the engine fires right up, even after it's been sitting over night.
I appreciate all of the suggestions and the re-build wasn't nearly as difficult as I anticipated.
