As an update, I just installed the new 30mm Mikuni that arrived the other day. I installed a 115 main and 30 slow jet for Son of Weldangrind's 230 pushrod China motor, and it is still lean. I'll be back at the bike shop on Tuesday to buy a larger slow jet. Even with the pilot screw backed out two full turns, there is considerable backfiring through the exhaust.
BTW, we're using a factory 1983 XR200R air filter and a Hummer muffler (which is pretty much a straight pipe like a Gio).
