When they say number 1 2 or 3 cylinder which one are they referring to when sitting on the sled? 1 being the PTO side? Or 3 being the PTO side?

Correct.

Number one is the PTO side

Could this simply be an issue with the factory tune being rich in that spot? Because what you describe is something mine has always done and I've owned it since 2000 miles. Very light throttle, around 6500 RPM and it sounds off. Above and below just fine. I figured the pilots were a little bigger than necessary to give some margin, IIRC the timing is fairly aggressive right about there.

He is right about the main nozzles. Had the same thing on a 500 vmax. Perked right up and got much better mpg once I changed them

I found 2, but not the one for the pto side.
