I have cleaned everything in that carburetor thoroughly with carb spray carburetor brushes and Air I have it back together now with the original needle it runs better but doesn't idle smoothly as much as I'd like

Part 35 sometimes gets stuck inside the carb and could be damaged. If you haven’t already done so, inspect part 35 that little piece of plastic can get damaged or broken especially when soaking in carb cleaner etc.
other than that, try hooking it up to a timing light when running and make sure your not dropping a cylinder. I had a condenser wire that was damaged by the flywheel spinning and would intermittently short out . Drove me crazy until I noticed the small nick of exposed wire. Also I would stick with OMC fuel pumps. They are expensive but I’ve had issues using cheap aftermarket fuel pumps.

If all else fails, run a can of this stuff. It helped one I had issues with low idle. After I ran a can of tuner, it now idles nice and low.

The only thing that can go wrong with this elegantly simple pump is the diaphragm.----Available new all day long!
