Default carb issues

bought a xl 1200 that sat up for a couple years, never worked on a bike but tore down the lower halfof the carb and cleaned it up and now the bike runs good .seems to run rich though.also has a quiet chatter in the engine somewhere having never owned a H-D not sure of what i am hearing.also heard of a screaming eagle kit for it, any info pros and cons for this? bike is a 92 with 15538 miles on it paid agrand for it and it looks good but not knowing **** about harleys i would appreciate all the info you could share..

Thanks,
J.T.
