I'd suggest contacting LoudMouse and see if he would rebuild your carbs. He check the needles and needle jets and everything else to make sure it's all fine.

I could do it if Ed isn't available, but I'd start with him.

D13 is the #, or size of the "jet needle". The "needle jet" is pressed into the carb body, under the main jet holder. Put the stock jet needles back in, clips in second groove from the bottom, and see if it gets better. The 135 mains may be all you need, but that can be determined after you have proper needles.

cutting out at mid throttle

So, could this trouble be simply fuel delivery from the tank to the carbs? I don't think I read in any post suggesting this. Just my 2cents.
