OK! Check the files section. It's a .pdf so everyone should be able to read it or print as necessary. One caveat: on some computers the colors are a bit dark so take care differentiating between the Black and DkGreen, especially. Hopefully it's helpful to someone; I spent a lot of time on it!

From my experience jets that are too small or restricted fuel lines just make it have no power. Too large main jets will cause a sag thought they would have to be greatly over sized to make it feel like you turned the ignition off. I would pull the carbs and clean them, check the diaphragms,
