Make sure the idle gap is set at .7 to 1 mm. Set both needles to flush and start from there. If it's lean bogging it will be that the HSN is too lean, or maybe a blockage in the HSN jet. Remove needle and flush by blowing fuel through the needle housing. Then reinstall needle and set HSN to flush.
If you have the long needle carb, you need the HSN set rich (flush to start with) to make it work properly.
Let us know what happens.
