Hello again,
When I'm Riding my bike fast , No problems runs Great, When I'm in tight rocky places working on just above idle, It fouls plugs ?
It has always run a bit rich, I took the snorkel off & I pulled the throttle slide out of the Carb, I then change the clip position from the middle position to the second groove from the top , That's one groove up.
I then took the bike for a scream up & down the street a few times & then I pulled the Spark plug out to have a look. A brown tip , not wet,
no oil deposits. Seems to run great .
Do any of you guys run your clip in the second groove from the top ??????? Any problems ?? Safe enough ?
Bike standard.
32: 1 with castrol tts Synthetic , Fuel 98 octane

I ride only in the woods unless , I'm testing the bike out up & down the street with my eyes peeledhttp://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=6#

Jetting is always different for every bike, so whether or not I have my clip in the 2nd slot will make no difference to you. If it was fouling out plugs it was certainly running rich. Dropping the needle one spot should be fine.

I don't know, I did'nt go any deeper into the problem ,than just poping out the slide & lifting the clip up to the second groove from the top.
I'll check it out though

Welcome to my profile! I'm Betty, a banking professional from the beautiful town of Edson in Alberta, Canada. I've been working in the banking industry for over a decade now, and I absolutely love helping people make one of the biggest investments of their lives. Whether it's guiding first-time homebuyers, I find immense satisfaction in making the mortgage process manageable and straightforward for my clients.

My journey in the banking industry has been full of learning experiences. I've had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, and each interaction has taught me something new. I believe that understanding someone's financial goals is key to providing the best service.

Hobbies and Interests:

When I'm not crunching numbers or advising clients, you'll find me exploring the great outdoors. My ultimate passion is hiking through forests. There's something incredibly soothing about being surrounded by vibrant wildflowers. It's not just a hobby for me; it's a way to cope with my Asperger syndrome. Nature walks help me improve my overall well-being. The rhythmic sound of my footsteps, the rustling of leaves, and the chirping of birds create a calming environment that I find incredibly therapeutic.

I love exploring different landscapes. Whether it's a short stroll through a local park, I always come back feeling re-energized. One of my favorite things to do is capture the beauty of nature through photography. I often post these photos here on the forum, hoping to inspire others to find their own peace in the natural world.

Another aspect of my nature walks that I cherish is the chance to see animals in their natural habitat. From spotting a deer grazing, each encounter is a unique experience. It reminds me of the importance of preserving our environment.

Alongside my love for nature, I also enjoy expanding my knowledge. I find that reading is a great way to relax. Some of my favorite genres include nature and wildlife. I believe that continuous learning is key to leading a fulfilling life.
