I didn't have the balls to use a heatgun - thought that the risk for fire was too great. One question: Is the rubber joint between the carb and cylinder straight or is there any shape? The problem is that the airbox outlet kinda comes inclined from the frame of the bike, and now the carb is actually in contact w/ the frame. And still not nearly flush w/ the auirbox flange.

Carb size I don't know; I believe it's OEM. Altitude is close to sea level and ambient temps have been 15...20 C (50...70 F).

Just using basic math, #40 pilot gives 30% higher fuel flow than #35. I'll acquire #38 (+18% flow), and continue my efforts.
