You do not have to remove the valve cover to get the info, UNLESS some Bubba installed the cover upside down. If a twin Bfiggs it's usually on the top of the right side valve cover (as you are setting in the seat looking forward)
Be sure to get all correct when posting. Sometimes a 3 is a 8 etc due to weak stamping into the metal. After you get the ID model, type, code you can go to the computer and type the info in and add parts at the end in the search bar and if the info is not correct the computer will tell you to try again with correct info. this saves us a waste of time browsing with wrong info.
You will get some replies now that you have posted the ID info.

I took the carb off and cleaned it now it won't run at hi speed , it floods I think it is the high speed jet that was laying on the carb when I lifted the float housing off. I assumed it went into the float housing with the O ring toward the bottom of the float housing, I will take it apart again and see if the jet flipped when I dropped it into the float housing.

That jet is going to need a NEW o ring. What you seen is a sign that the carb wants a kit. (might as well knuckle down and do such.
