Need help tuning Quickfuel carb

I think it is the Taylor wires.
This weekend I removed all the wires, then I cleaned the dielectric grease out of them As best as I could by spraying carb cleaner on some q-tips and wiping them out.
Some of the wires had too much in them even though all I did was put a small dab on the inside of the boots.
But some of it was smeared up all the way to the metal contact clip area.
So anyways I did that and put them back on and I drove it to work this morning and it felt a lot better specially around 2000-2400 rpm but it still misses pretty hard around 2500-2800 rpm.
And once I got to work I thought I could hear it missing while it was idling.
I think these plug wires are complete junk and in wondering if maybe I’ve damaged a wire or two removing them so many times.
I’m going to order some good firecore wires and fo from there.
It does appear to be the wires though since cleaning out the di-electric grease made a difference.
