Have a peek down the carb throat and tell us if you have the long or short low speed needle in your motor.
If you have the long needle, I suspect you are too lean on the top end.
This senario is well documented on here, as are the different needle lengths.
The short and long needle carbs tune quite differently. If you want more info PM me for details on needles and tuning.
Try richening the top end 1/4 turn and retune from there.
