The pilot screw shouldn't matter at 1/3+ throttle, so something else is up. Maybe an air leak or just low compression. I would check compression in all cylinders and confirm it's ok before you sink anymore money into it.

Hi yes carbs are clean and no vacume leaks found and compression test went fine I’m really confused I’ve also replaced spark plugs and wires, fuel lines and filters also oil level sensor working normally. Any more ideas? Thanks
