Default jetting

I have a 97 evo 80CU. has a cv carb and nothing on the engine cept a new set of V&amp\\;H short shots. I think its running lean... a little less power in the upper rpms and the plugs are starting to get white. so I think I need to rejet....
I have 170 main and 45 slow.... mind you it was working good... just a little less power.
I tryed a 185 main with the 45 slow. It was spitting fuel out the carb.
I notice a guide had fell out and replaced it and tryed again with same results.
I tryed the 170 again and adjusted the idle mixture screw from&nbsp\\;0 turns to 9 turns and never got a satisfing result.
any help out there???
Herb
