Default Jets

I have a 1000cc shovelhead motor on a 1980 sporster. I put an S&S Super E carb with a pro-r series hypercharger. The motor does not want to idle. I believe the jet sizes are 66 and 265. Anyone have an idea if the jets are what the problem is. I did mess with the mixture screw and the idle control screw.

Also, when I shut the bike off a puff of white smoke comes out of the air cleaner.

Finally, where can I find a corbin rumbler seat for a 1980 Sporster?

Thanks for the help. It is much appreciated.

If you go to the S&S web page, they have setup suggestions for the carbs.
