Mike,
Short part of the slide faces away from the engine or towards the air
intake. If they are in correctly check your enrichener plungers. Make sure
they are not hung up and move freely up and down. If these are stuck it will
idle fast but would bog down when the throttle is blipped on a warm engine.

"There's a lip on the slide that fits into a
groove in the bottom of the carb. I took a look in
the manual and I did
install the slides correctly (I think). Bob"

Bob, my version of the manual has the slides pictured
backwards! Maybe yours does to. And the throttle stop
screw screws OUT to lower the idle, not in.

Keith, I think my manual recommends 10w oil, which is
what I was using until several people recommended I go
to 20w to get some damping out of a very lightly
damped fork design. I can't tell the difference, but I
am using BelRay 20w now. The weight of your oil won't
effect how low the bike sits on the fork, as far as I
can see, but I agree with Charlie that heavier oil
makes more sense of you then lighter, as it may lesson
the chance of toping out after rebounding.

It's been a while since I took my forks apart, so I'll
let someone else answer that question.
