I cannot send you a diagram on how to do either one. I can however direct you to a site where you can print out an "exploded" view of the parts you mentioned. Go to http://www.bikebandit.com Click on OEM Parts, and make the appropriate choices and you'll get a drawing of what you want. Look at the lower left corner of the drawing and you'll see the "Print" button. Click the button and larger drawing will come up and you can print it out.
Good Luck

The 165 main jet is the standard jet for that year. For altitudes above 4000 feet. the 160 jet should be used. The slow speed jet shouild be a 0.65. If you're fouling your plugs with gasoline, you've got another problem somewhere. These butterfly Kiehin carburators are notorious for the needle and seat leaking. With the bike standing as straight up as you can get it safely, remove the air cleaner. Turn the fuel petcock on and watch inside the carb. If you see fuel running along the bottom of the carb, your needle is not sealing completely and it's flooding the carb. Another problem is that someone may have left the black rubber plug out of the slow jet recess. Take the float bowl off and look for a black rubber plug just to one side of the main jet holder. If it's not in there, the bike will run up to a certain RPM and then it overloads badly. When it does this, it will sputter and nearly die. Another problem could be your exhaust. If you are running unbaffled drag pipes, your exhaust system does not have enough backpressure. You can help this by installing a 1/4" X 1 1/4" bolt in the hole at the end of each pipe for the bolt that held the baffles in. Insert the bolt from the outside and put three nuts on the bolt. This will give the exhaust system just enough backpressure to eliminate most of the problem.
Good Luck
