Jetting for VHB 30 carb

Hi, all,
I left NF unattended for the week, and as punishment today it
sprayed petrol out of the exhaust and gushed it out of the carb.
I assumed it was a stuck float. I've got the carb off for a
good clean, and can't see where the problem was, so I suppose it
was bloody-mindedness :-)
Whilst the Carb was in bits I checked the jet sizes, etc. I
have: Atomiser 265, Idle 55, Main 142, Starter 80, Needle V10,
top notch, Slide 50.
Does anyone out there run the NF with the VHB30, and if so, what
are your jets? Mine runs a little rich on idle but seems
generally OK.
Enquiring minds and all that!

I know nothing about jets for the 30, but just bought a new
Monobloc for my Panther, having discovered it was fitted with a
376 that was two sizes too small. Interestingly, it was fitted
with exactly the same jet sizes as for the correct carb, and did
run OK. That's possibly no help at all, but suggests that a good
starting point may be the stock jets for the 29....

Worth a try. Thanks!
ATM I'm having trouble with the carb anyway: it started
dribbling fuel a couple of weeks ago, so I stripped it and
cleaned it. Now it's pumping out black smoke... I've put a new
choke piston in, that didn't cure it. So I'm waiting for a carb
kit from Gutsibits just to get my hands on the tiny O ring for
the Choke jet. The float chamber gasket and a few other bits
won't hurt for replacement, either... Guzzi Joys!

Looking on the bright side, at least you can still get all these
bits for the VHB-30...
Hopefully an easy resolution to your flooding.
