It can be jetted to run right but since you have no experience at all. It would be an uphill battle.
Since this is a first bike for you, don't ruin the whole experience  over this air filter issue.

My advice is put the stock jets and stock air filter back on the bike.
Not only would it need to be rejetted but it also needs the needles
 changed or raised and they may not even be adjustable.

Like I said it can be done but it would take a lot of work by an expert.
Many people who rejet the carbs do not get it right .

You want your bike to run well under most everyday different conditions.
I would put the stock airbox back on . That is what i would do.

The airboxes on these bikes produced at that time were like giant chokes.
The air intake was only about 3.7 square inches and the filter was a paper filter which was restrictive and caused it to be choked further ,meaning a richer mix with that filter box design.
