Im confused here... which one is the main size and which one is the secondary jet size? WOuldnt the main jet size be bigger than the secondary jet size or is this backwards?

I would assume the bigger jet goes where the needle jet sits?

78 and 112

the 78 goes in the carb body directly

the 112 goes in the brass holder

Man thats what I thought! It was at 1 3/4 turns out on one of the carbs and 2 1/2 turns out on the other carb. Im running the stock jets and air box with a stock emgo filter. Im putting on slip on trumpet style exhaust though, so I figure 2 1/2 turns out should be pretty close.
