I dropped the needle one position from stock #2 to position #1 to try to clean up the smoking on the bottom end. I was suprised to see the stock clip position was only one away from full lean instead of in the center clip. I also opened the air screw 1/2 turn more then stock to help lean it out. I just went out and rode it for the first time this year and after dropping the needle and opening the air screw, I still get smoke on low rpm even after ripping up and down a flat trail wide open through all the gears for five minutes.
Should I go smaller on the pilot then raise the needle back to stock? Or should I go leaner on both, needle and pilot? I don't wanna lose midrange power from too lean in the mid but need to cleanup this smoke and spooge on the bottom. Stock pilot is 52 according to my jetting chart. Can anyone with experience with jetting the 2004 KX250 help me out and give me some tips? I'm also using powermist 109 octane race gas with golden spectro. Would race gas require leaning all the jets for best performance? I'm gonna go out to the toolbox to see if I have any leaner pilots...
