I also still run the stock carb. Similar to the others, my mixture is set to 1 3/4 out, and I've shimmed the needle with two thin washers.
On the main, I've been even more half-assed. I was planning on either buying a larger one, drilling out the diameter, or just getting a Mikuni. But . . .since I had it apart, I just decided to pound an awl into the main jet and open up the diameter. Lo and behold - it's just about perfect for around here. I get a clean response all the way through the gears, and I top out in the low 60s with the 17/50 setup I run.
I am certainly not recommending that as a standard tuning technique, but it ended up in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" category for me. But it does correlate with the others who have stayed with the stock option near sea level elevations - a larger main, shimming the needle, and opening up the mixture setting should get you to a much better place than the default EPA settings that it ships with.
