the jetting in general on an ignition with an advance curve will need to be richer in the areas where more advance exits and can be a touch leaner where its more retarded ,your basically fueling the ignition curve
ive found the popular 35mm mikuni on reed set ups needs to be in the 25 / 27.5 range but if advanced and high comp could be higher but if retarded and low comp could be lower ,the pipe in use in particular the stinger size plays a role too
best advise is to set it up rich so it splutters on pilot , needle and main jet and slowly bring it down until it just clears ,the choke can help you establish if a motor likes a richer set up or for a quicker turnaround and no need to purchase a load of jets etc. pop it to a reputable 2 stroke dyno facility eg diablo/scooterotica/jb/me/b race/replay/chisel/readspeed/ etc etc apologies to any missed
