Default 1980 rm125 not running right

Hello, I have a 1980 rm125 and it is not running quite right. It has very little low end power and takes a while to get up to power band. Once it does it breaks up a little but not real bad, but enough I want to get rid of the problem. The bike has good compression, I just replaced the reeds. It helps a little if I lean the carb out with the needle but not enough. Once it hit power band it takes right off. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
