With the 295 and 72, I was so rich I was fouling out plugs before I hit pavement. Gas mileage was like 25, plugs were black, low power, etc. I rode it to Sturgis like that and had to buy a hotter plug at the auto parts store on Main Street to get home. It took me probably a month of dinking with it to get the jetting right.

I jetted it with the stock cam and stock exhaust with a 1" hole punched through the mufflers, stock 80 cubic inches, Screaming Eagle ignition, polished and cleaned up S&S intake, K&N filter element. I have an EV1 cam and a 2008 Twinkie dresser exhaust with holes cut through now, but didn't have to rejet after changing either the cam or the exhaust out.

That sounds about right. So, your intermediate jet at 31 was good but it seemed like the bike was still running rich. Hmmmm. Do you have a Super E manual? You can look at or download one from the S&S website. Take your time and follow what it says and think about your symptoms.
I hesitate to advise you any more because our suggestions are all over the map. I chalk it up to different bike setups and geographical locations etc. I'm running an EV 13, at around '1000.
Feel free to PM me.

Yes it was missing when I took the carb apart the first time. I rejetted it last night with 70main and 28int. Replaced the vac petcock with a high flow. Runs like a champ. Thanks everyone for the help.
