[Ducati] '96 900SS Carb Question

[Mark Pollard]

Marc,
    Factory pro has an extremely comprehensive article on carb tuning.

Go tech questions and then to low rpm engines.
When you are in the carbs pay particular attention to the needle jets. 
They tend to wear
slightly oval. Very little wear causes big mixture problems.

Since it came from a guy in Albuquerque I'm thinking it's tuned for higher density altitude (I'm at sea level). The carb needles are on the 2nd notch and I wonder if this is where I might start. From what I have read the 3rd notch is pretty standard. Before I do something stupid I thought I'd ask for input from the DucNet.
