Good progress !!!

An air filter will make the mix richer.
I would try riding the bike as is for some trips (away from traffic, if possible).
After that, the color of the spark plugs can tell you how good the mix is.

You could verify those suspected leaks by temporarily putting bearing's grease over the welds.
