If you were too rich you'll never get it started with the choke, you'll just make it worse. When you flood it you start it by winding the throttle open and trying to start it.

If your mixture was off enough to make a difference you'd know immediately because it'll run like a bag of ****.

My guess is a vacuum leak causing the petcock to not be fully open at higher rpm. You can verify this by putting the petcock on prime and riding once you figure out how to replicate the issue. OR your float valves are gunked up not allowing enough flow at higher rpm, draining the bowls. Your floats are ok where they are because it runs

EDIT: I read the first post again and your bowls wont fill by letting it sit, sounds like you actually are rich
