  To be Safe  . Go 165/170 main jet.

   Run BP Premium Unleaded 98 Octane. 
 
   32. 1 Mix.  Castrol TTS or Motel 800.

    NGK B9EGV  spark Plug.
   
     Timing should be 2.5/3 mm BTDC.

     Give it run and check for sound of Detonation / Pinging.

     Do a plug reading with a new Spark Plug.

With no reed valve motors and Bings, You may need to modify the slide cut away to get that nice crisp off the bottom pull.
