if you have 40's in you cannot be lean on the bottom end. start out with shimming needles with 2 washers. you will be amazed at the change. buy a good pilot adjusting tool to help you set the pilots. I use a motion pro. works everytime
here is some info by ghostt on bench syncing and adjusting pilots (with 40's start with 2 turns out)
