Despite Amal's tuning instructions I always leave the main jet till last. I start by fitting one which is oversize - say 250 if a 220 is specified - then get all the other bits right as the vast majority of running is done in the cutaway / needle jet area. Good idling is also very important to me. It's a point of pride to get a steady idle and clean progression although sometimes it takes a lot of effort to achieve those.
The main jet only comes into effect at wide open throttle (unless it's too small of course). And apart from racers (and feeble 2 strokes), who uses that for any length of time these days?
