Well, I got everything all cleaned out tonight and got the carburetor back on the bike.
When I put it back on I made sure the rubber boot on either side was properly seated and the clamps were cinched down as tight as I could get them. I started the bike choked and it started up perfectly and sounded pretty normal. As I slowly cut the choke though the bike started revving higher and higher so I panicked and closed it again. I let it idle for a few more minutes with the choke on before I tried again and this time it was good! Revs up nice and comes right back down to an idle!
It seems like this bike just needs an extra few minutes to warm up before cutting the choke completely. Other than that, it's running like a completely different bike than when I got it. Thanks for everyone's help and advice. I think you were right about the seals letting air in.
