I started to rebuild my carbs last night. I'm going to run the stock exhaust and pod filters.
The carbs have 125 main jets (stock should be 135), and the pilot is the correct 27.5.
125 seems really small to me, and it doesn't look like they were drilled out larger.
Any reason why somebody would go smaller on the mains?
I'm going to start with 30 pilot, 140 main, and needle clip raised one step to slot #2 (lowering the needle).
Rebuilding the carbs are the last thing I need to do to start this engine for the first time.
Once it's running, I'll rebuild my calipers and see how she rides!
