You may have missed a little crap in the high speed jet when you cleaned the carb. Also make sure your float is not stuck or set wrong. It should be level with your carb when turned upside down.

glad to help you. Keep your carb clean by putting an inline fuel filter on your gas line and run Stabil or some other fuel stabilizer in every tank.
