This is the reference guide I have. I think it's right, but not positive.

Jedihunter..
Thanks, i just came across the same info a few minutes earlier, thank you though. So i guess i do have all the original jets in the carb.
I was trying to think if i cleaned out the Main jet, can't remember now. It's located below the top-half, of the carb?
Took the bike out on a short ride today. Trying to get the carb settings adjusted.

The main stack is under the air filter. I would pull them out and clean them just to know for sure.

Jedi, thanks. Yes I believe that's the Slow-Running and the Main. I will re-clean them again later. Overall, the bike runs well... i just find that if I'm coasting along and give more throttle, there is a slight "flat spot"?, and then continues to accelerate. In the flat spot, there is no bogging, or sputtering...if just feels like nothing is happening, then it picks up again.
I will reclean jets as i know there was a bit of stale gas in the tank when i refilled it.

I have rebuilt a 180 SS a couple of years ago, and the following jets were used:
Choke 60
Idle 50
AC 160
Mixer BE3
Main 118

Danie, sorry i'm not sure I understand... if i take off the air box, i have 2 tops of jets exposed... the smaller sized one is the Idle (50). Then next to it is the bigger one. If i take that out, the markings i see is
160(AC)
BE3 (mixer)
Where is the main at this point? Would you have a pic of where it is?
Thanks

It is the pointed piece on the very bottom. You can pull it out of the mixer with some small pliers and a slight twist being carefully not to burr it up or contact the conical tip where the hole is. You should be able to make out the number stamped into it.

The main jet fits into the bottom of the mixer. It looks like a space module😁
