Get yourself NEW pilot jets, dont bother trying to clean them its a waste of time. A new pilot costs about the same as a can of carb cleaner.
For your temps right now try the 42 pilot first.
For starting it helps to give the throttle 4 or 5 full twists to prime the engine with fuel. Turn the choke on and give the bike a solid kick. Doesnt have to be a fast kick and dont fan kick it. May take 2 or 3 kicks. Let the bike run on choke for a minute or so before turning it off.
I should edit that. I use a 38 in the summer not a 68.
