Steve, a wire wheel is not good for cleaning plugs. The base of the center porcelain cannot be reached with a wire wheel, the plugs will continue to short out (fouled plug). The plug sand blaster does a much better job since it can get down to the base of the center electrode porcelain. If you do get one and clean your plugs with it make sure to use carb cleaner and compressed air and ensure that you get any sand out of the plug after the cleaning.
It is possible that some varnish may have plugged some of the air bleed circuits. Before you tear into the carb again first check the float levels as suggested. If the levels are okay, check to see if there is fuel dribbling out of the venturis with the engine off and on, remember to use a mirror if the engine is running. You don't want a backfire while looking down the carb., please use a mirror. If all this looks okay we'll move on to the next step.
