Same set up as mine. Look at my sig below for my jetting details. Altitude will affect your results. I'm at 750 ft abouve sea level.

im at 1300 ft elevation. if i put in the 128main and 40 pilot , can i stay with the stock needle and not shim it? thanks.just trying to get rid of the hesitation when i accelerate. i imagine that turning out the air screw will probably also help with this hesitation?

Shim the needle, it will help with the surge. It's a 'fuel screw,' and yes turning it out will help to a lesser effect than shimming the needle (raising it.)
