I have just built a 305 and need to check the jetting used for modern fuels as this bike has not run since the days of leaded. Can anyone advise what they are using today for especially the needle and needle jet.

Mine is currently fitted with the following:

slide 3.5

needle X7 or possibly X75 as the 5 is very faint

atomiser 262FD

main jet 125

idle jet 33

idle emulsion tube BF 1

choke jet 70

float 9794.5 2.8g

Added info

I've personally haven't re-jetted any of my old bikes but I have found it necessary to get the octane up to avoid the unwanted knocking (especially on the over run) when hot. Air cooled bikes from that era seem to suffer from it.

I use Fuelx Formula 6 octane booster with super unleaded and have found all those issues stop. 

Another point on all my Fantics is the pattern head gaskets I have come across are rather thin so I used two of them to bring keep the compression to the original specs.
