I have checked everything else and am suspecting a problem with the pilot needle, but I’m not sure what could be wrong with it.
I’m running a Mikuni carb but they all work the same generally.
Miacycles is probably giving us the best advice…but it would be nice to find and easier solution!

try 0 lash at the pump push rod, this should help
