Use the adjustment stop screw on the right rear of the carburetor to adjust your idle. It pivots when you apply throttle, then rests on the stop when you remove throttle from the grip. It takes a long handled Phillips head screwdriver.

Cable with the spring goes to the inner guide at the carb (closest to engine), and the one without the spring is at the outboard guide. Maybe those are mixed up?
Did you just replace cables or anything else?

Sounds like your slow jet is clogged, or adjusted incorrectly. Do you have access to the slow jet adjustment screw?
Im not sure about the bowl float, Ive only experienced loss of gas at high revs when the float is malfunctioning
