Answer
Take the carb off again.  Take it apart and clean all air and fuel passages with a wire from a wire tie.  Blow out with carb cleaner or compressed air.   Install new carb kit and use new mounting gaskets.  Be sure there is good fuel flow to the carb.  The sparks coming from the muffler is nothing to worry about.  If you have spark jumping from the plug to the engine while running put a new plug in.  Hope this information helped.
