Default Carb tuning no idle

Here is the deal . My 03 EC300 doesn't Idle. Originally it was thought that my Pilot jet was to rich. And it ran like it was to. So I took the carb off and the first thing I found was the intake boot was torn. The jetting was #45 pilot #178main and #7 slide. The carb for the most part was clean as a whistle but there was a bit of crud stuck in the Pilot jet. So I blew out the Idle circuit and seemed ok . Replaced the the Pilot jet with a #38 and slapped it all back together. Thinking something of the above was the problem. Well the bike screams now.But still no idle and seems to be getting hot fast. Idle screw has no effect. And the idle/air has little effect . But if you screw out the throttle cable adjustment on the Throttle it idles fine. But I know this isn't right.So I am wondering if my needle is wrong or set wrong? Any other ideas?
Other info. I ride from 2000'-6600' elevation. I repacked the silencer when I changed jets.(It was plugged up )
