Thanks again for the advice guys. I took Rounders advice and bought the kit from CV. Hopefully it will get to my house by Saturday so I can get working on Sunday. I did have one question. The kit comes with 4 jets, but it doesn't say which ones? Since it asks for the type of motor, I'm assuming that they will send the stock size and then maybe the next size up?
The instructions might suggest drilling out the vacuum hole in the slider. I'd recommend not doing that; with the lighter spring in the kit and that the hole is too easy to get oversize and that the effect is unnoticeable anyway I'd just leave well alone.

If the carb was set up for the engine mod, then yes you are lean. Adjust the air/fuel needle out 2 1/2 turns from lightly seated. Either raise the needle with two #4 brass washers or replace with a sportster carb needle, the part number escapes me right now.
Found the number--H-D part number27094-88. The needle is a tad richer at idle to 1/4 throttle.

the mixture one needs will vary based on altitude, intake, exhaust, engine, and float adjustment. One guys too rich is another's too lean.
