No you dont need bigger jets. The problem is the carb bowl vents need to be pressurized with the same pressure as the intake side of the carb. Your bowl vent tube iether fell off or is plugged. Did you take off the air diverter valve? If you did you need to redirect the bowl vent to the aircleaner.
Exactly. John Burns had this exact problem in his recent article in Cycle World.

?!?! Pressurize the float bowls? Wouldn't that cause the gasoline to shoot back into the gas tank and cause a horrible accident akin to the Hindenburg disaster? Oh the humanity...

Funny, but the ram air IV system on my '68 GTO (pirated from a '69) didn't have a pressurized float bowl..guess the Quadrajunk didn't need one...
That's cause it had a FUEL PUMP!
