2 turns out fuel screw
48 pilot
middle position on needle
118 main (depending on where you bought it)\

Porting is a job for the pros unless you just plan on cleaning up the castings, that you could do yourself. The intake should be left rough and exhaust can be polished. You can't just go in there and "port off" as much as you can, sometimes adding material can make a port flow better. A professional with a flowbench can make the decision as to how much to "port off".

You plan on trying it yourself, I wouldn't go any farther than just cleaning up some of the casting from when the head was made, and possibly polishing the exhaust afterwards. Anything more in the wrong place can cause power loss.:(
