Default Jetting problem please help

I have recently purchased a 1990 electra glide with straight pipes and kn intake. It has been sitting for years. I stripped it down to the frame and restored it. I cleaned the carb spotless. The vos switch line was cut so I put a new one on. When the vos switch is hooked up the bike cuts of when i give it gas. If i unhook it the bike will run but not well at all. Does anyone know what jet sizes i should have in the carb? Or if that vos switch has to be hooked up.. Thanks

Did you get it running before taking it apart?
