If the main jet was clogged, you can bet the idle circuitry is clogged, too. You need to pull the carb off and get some carb cleaner and soak it for awhile. Then before you put it together you will see some tiny holes in the carb throat behind the needle and slide. Make sure these are clear, use a very small wire to clean them. I use a single strand of electrical wire to stick in them. Also some carbs have a tiny hole behind the mixture screw that will need a poke from the same wire. (Remove the screw and poke the wire into the hole.) Be careful not to hog out these holes.
