122 main for a sito+ or simonini or 125 for the pm pipe, i would start higher though and come down to 125. best to black a plug than break the engine.

all other jets standard.

Leave the timing as standard - but it would be good to strobe it as the standard marks are not necessarily that accurate . A tuner mate found the 17 deg IT mark on a px was more like 20 deg on an engine he did recently.

Bearing in mind no autolube =at least a jet size up than with autolube, and that pipe i would start at about 128 main, you might be able to get it down to 125 ,mine wasn't happy below that with a mickeck but was ok with a sito with a 122.

I can't remember,but is that 50/100 pilot jet standard, and you should only really need the airscrew out max 2.5 turns (out richens)
