    What should the initial setting be for a bench set up?

    I think 2.5 turns out from the bottom is normal. My current setting is 2.5 on 2 and 3, 2.75 on 1 and 4.

    Probably. But podding (properly) involves rejetting the carbs. I'm not a pod guy, but I'm sure someone else can offer insight.

    I'm not a pod guy either but the PO took out the air box replaced it with pods and changed the exhaust to Vance & Hines 4to1. I upsized the main jets 4 sizes but have not changed anything else.
