Start on a 110 main jet and work down.

That idle jet is very weak.
Divide the two numbers together.
e.g. a T5 engine has a 50-100 idle jet giving a number of 2
This is one of the lowest (richest) idle jets.
A P2 carb has a 55-160 which is i think a 2.9.
Not as rich as a T5 but a lot richer than yours which is over 3.
Hope this makes sense.
