put a bigger pilot (slow) jet in and see how it runs. if nothing, try messing with the needle.

I'd wager you are probably running a bit too lean on the bottom and the top.

Are you re-honing your sleeve when you replace the rings? You really do need too. You need the cross hatching to help the 2 parts mate together.

If you have a local atv/cart dyno, they can usually get it dialed in very good for you for not too much money.

Always err on the rich side, then you can dial it back.

Are you running airbox lid off w/ aftermarket filter?
If so, with your mods you should probably be in the range of a 40-42 pilot jet, and a 132-135 main jet. Keihin jets.
