If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.
Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

As for the jet length, it's not really critical as long as the needle doesn't "bottom out" point first in the jet. It is the annular gap between the needle and the top opening of the jet that controls the fuel metering. Regardless of jet length, when adjusting the mixture, start with the jet flush with the bridge in the carb throat and adjust it "down" from there. Jet length isn't critical for achieving this.

How are you testing for spark? Is this electronic ignition or points?
Don't arbitrarily change from 1.5 Ohms to 3 Ohms or vise-versa. Tell us what color wires are on each coil terminal before making any changes. Pictures are helpful if the wire colors are clearly visible.

EDIT: I see on your other thread that timing is approximate. Sort it out properly.
Check for air leaks, such as open vacuum line etc.
Are you giving it choke to warm it up - dropping the jets 1/8" isn't much choke?
