I love S&S carbs so much I bought the engine attached to it!
TD you may simply have water in the float bowl, causing your problem. Take it off and take a look. One of my BMWs would routinely collect a spoonful in each carb over a period of a few months, so it became a service routine for me. Condensation inside the gas tank accumulates and pools, going down the hose to the carb.

TD, start at the basics, rule out any mechanical issues that might be causing a lean condition at low speeds, then move on to jetting and set-up.

If that does not help, you can try to clear the idle/pilot circuit without removing the float bowl,
remove the drain plug from the float bowl,
remove idle mixture screw(lightly bottom first to see where it's at)
blow high pressure with a air hose into the idle mixture screw hole.
Reinstall everything and adjust.
When dicking around with the idle mixture screw, you can mark the top with a sharpie so you can see where it's at with just a glance.see pic.
