Default bendix high speed circuit adjustment

I have a Bendix Zenith on my 72 XLCH. It does have an adjustable main jet. The bike is popping under hard acceleration. Especially when it is cooler out. I believe she's a bit lean.problem is I don't remember which direction to turn my adjustment screw. Any pointers? Thanks! !!
