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.
Oem carbs have been both 38 and 36mm. do you have a screw top (as 1)or a cast slim top retained by 2 small screws(as 2)??? if you have the later,there will be a hex shape in the top with either 36 or 38 cast in.
once this is established,many here can give you their recommendation.
