I went to the #50 pilot jet due to them being priced at $24NZD and ex Australia.
But it seems I may have fixed the problem with the 1 1/2 turns out on the mixture screw.Will have to wait until I go trail riding again to get it super hot and see if the problem comes back,but for now it's starting normal again.

Aha - let's check: are we talking the same thing: float level: fuel level in carb, or something else?
If we talk fuel level in the carb: if it increases (goes up), bike will run richer. If it decreases, bike will run leaner.
If you measure float level, what exactly do you measure?
Normally, to measure, float bowl open, carb upside down, measure distance from underside float to edge of float bowl mating edge. Indeed, if this measure increases, the mix becomes leaner.
Or is it different in NZ you being on the other side of the great pancake?
