mikuni carb

I have a couple '76 liquifires that were given to me. I don't know if the carbs on them are stock or not, but they are the mikuni vm34 carbs. The sleds only go about 35 mph because they bog as you give it more gas. The clutch is rebuilt and the carbs are clean. I think I might have the wrong main jets. Any ideas on what the main jets are supposed to be, or what they came with from the factory? Any help would be appreciated. I think it's too rich because the sled runs better when it's cold than after it warms up.

Here are the carb specs.

Check the slack in both choke cables, it should be about 1/8 inch slack at the adjuster. With the factory jetting, it could bogg in this warm weather presently. The engines are jetted for tempertures between 0 to 35 degrees.
