So I just bought a fl350 and took it out and loved it till it died on me. I took it home and turns out the carb was shot so ordered a mikuni 34mm flat side carb. I also ordered boysen power reeds and I ordered a much bigger airbox I'm going to fabricate to work for the 350 So it won't have any issues with breathing. I also replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter. My question is what jets should I order if everything else is stock except my
Engine has been bored to a 82mm.
I can't seem to find anything online so any help I can get will be greatly appriciated. I live in Sacramento so my elevation is 52ft but I also go to tahoe which is a lot higher.

You are not to specific on the "till it died on me" part.
Do you still have good compression ??
Anyways back to your question.
I have two flat slides but not on the machines yet but I do have a 34mm round slide mikuni on my machine. Engine is on it's last over bore, boysen reeds, stock exhaust, K&N flyscreen filter.
I run a 260 main but keep in mind that we ONLY RUN AVGAS and 50/1 oil mix. If you run more oil that means you are getting even less gas. My Engine runs lean down low but is still real snappy at the top of the mountains here. We run from near sea level like you up to nearly 5000ft depending on where we go.
When in doubt run it rich and do plug chops. I am not afraid to blow my machines up. Every man for himself. Hopefully someone will chime in here who is running a flat slide. Keep a close eye on the gasket between the cylinder and the crank case. Look under the exhaust outlet for any oily type leaks. I have had issues here.
