Tightening the jets does not have anything to do with anything other then keeping them from falling out into the bottom of the float bowel. First you need to have fuel going through the petcock, down through the fuel line to the carb inlet. Then the float needs to be low enough that the needle valve opens off the seat to allow the fuel into the float bowel. Then when the fuel level in the float bowel gets to a specified point the float should have risen to where it closes the needle valve onto the seat to stop the flow of fuel into the float bowel. At this specified point the jets should be submerged in the fuel, so that the engine vacuum sucking air through the carb will siphon a metered amount of fuel through the jets to be mixed with the incoming air. Somewhere along this line fuel must not be getting through to the engine. And the accelerator pump only squirts a small amount of fuel into each carb as you twist the throttle off idle to about 1/4 throttle. You should be able to see it squirt when you twist the throttle by looking at the rear of the carbs while twisting the throttle.
