Default quick question about SE air cleaner

I put on a screamin eagle air cleaner this weekend and went for a short ride this afternoon. I noticed that I have a carb fart now. what causes that and what do i need to do to fix it? I have a stage 1 re-jet kit in it already, i also have stock pipes with drilled baffles. please help

Carb was jetted for a restricted intake, now you have a free flowing intake. Start with adjust air/fuel screw.
If that doesn't work you may need to rejet. Just my 2 cents.

You will likely need to go up one size on the pilot jet. What size is in there know?

its under the carb, you may have to run a drill up in it if its still factory, they put a small shield there to dissuade folks from doing thier own work
