I recently had this same problem with a Stihl km55r. I tried what you have done to no avail. I have a friend that works on Stihl products, he said he doesn't even bother trying to clean the carbs, just replaces them. I ended up buying a new carb for $32, fuel lines, fuel filter and it now runs like new. I would first check the fuel lines for any damage.

If you hav'nt already done so, take the carb off and submerge in fuel and then pump it, if it works try with some pipes on and then see if it works, if so you will know that its not the carb so check the pipes/filter etc..!
