Althouh not  addressed to me  and  I feel  kinda funny  trying to answer  for someone  that is a lot smarter than me  I hope I can help.
I would   put the lean jets back in first and  go from there.    the reeds   could definately be the problem as  well as the float, needle and seat in the carb and the choke system.  Have you changed the plug?  all that  gas  and   not starting  the plug could be fouled on top of it.The reeds  should sit flat  on the reed block.

When  you had to lean the bike over to start originally  a lot of people do that   to make even their new  well maintained   properly jetted bikes start easily.  When you go back to square one  and if you still have to lean the bike over to fire up  check the  choke  and /or  play with the airscrew a little  to see if you can get an easier starting bike. I personaly  turn on the gas pull up the choke and kick thru  slowly 2 or 3times with my hand off the throttle  to  "prime" the cylinder. Maybe that  way  will be easier for you.
