Red face Stage 1 EVO w/ EV-27 Cam. Carb Jetting????

I'm helping my son on his 94 Electra Glides 80ci Evo. Were installing an Andrews EV-27 cam along with a Stage 1 breather kit. A previous owner installed larger jets in this bone stock motor. So of course the motor ran to rich.

We want to get the carb jetting right before we crank it up. I have not gone into the crab yet to see what jets is has. I'm concerned that with the upgrades we are making it will make the problem worst.

Can anyone give me an idea on what the carb should be jetted at?

48 pilot, 180 main. Air idle 3 turns out. Should be a good starting point.

Hillsidecyclecom thanks for the help.
