I would bet that some how your passage from the main jet's is blocked from getting into the venturi.
The metering block gasket does have a direction to it. You need to make sure it's facing the right way round and right side up.
You should be able to "blow" some air into the main jet passage and hear air coming out the venturi.
Good luck.
