Believe me I know your frustration...I had one that wouldn't start for days until I rolled it out of the shop into daylight and finally saw that damn little hose wasn't on just right! (And I was just positive that it was)
You can loosen the bowl drain screws to see if there is any gas in the carbs at all.
That will test the needle valves.
Other than that, not starting would be a plugged pilot jet.
Odd for both pilots or both needle valves to be not letting fuel in.
The slides only go in backwards if put in the wrong carbs, if you can see the dot in the window they are correct.
It should still get fuel and start, with the throttle cracked a little though.
choke hose?
slides backwards?
bowls on wrong carbs?
Did my previous post not show? Still sounds like a choke hose issue to me.
you said you had the carbs apart. did you get them back together correctly?
gas on?
fuel in the tank?
We've seen it all here

Oh yeah.
Both of mine need to warm up some before I pop them in gear.
I figure that's normal.
But without your cable properly adjusted the clutch shouldn't release at all.
Should be able to adjust it at the perch with just a bit of slack and be golden.
Again, your explanation that it worked better with 1/2 a lever pull worth of slack makes no sense.
