Allow me to suggest thoroughly cleaning both the carburetor AND the fuel pump, too.
Then change the fuel lines to Silverado 4000 Ethanol resistant types.
Use ethanol-free gasoline, if available.
If you must use gasahol, your fuel, if fresh, will not undergo phase separation for 5 - 8 weeks. With Startron or marine Stabil, this is extended to 24-30 weeks, and happens at a much slower rate.

If you just change the gas, and spray out the jets, you've left out the portions of the contaminated fuel delivery system in between.
