hey stephen...
there is a round ajustable nut that is spring loaded at the buttom of your su
carb... turn it counter clock wise to make it fat and clock wise to make it
lean... adjust a little at a time (.125 at a time evenly on both carbs and
test)
but before you start messing with the carbs... make sure you give your ride a
complete tune-up... and boone's dizzy will make your life a lot easier (awesome
product) 

good luck... and happy turkey day =]
