[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1212770, member: 68872"] Carburetor jetting is a common issue with two strokes and it may in fact need to be done, but not because of altitude. 1500 feet is nothing! I frequently gain a lot more altitude than that just out on a single ride. If you were going to be at 6000 feet for a while (like you lived there) it would be worth jetting for that. If you were a serious racer and wanted the most from your engine at all times you would adjust the jetting as needed. As others have said you should start by changing the plug and see if that gets you going again. If that was the problem then you should do a "plug reading" to see if you are running too rich, which could cause your plug to foul easily. Do a search here for "plug reading" and you will find several threads that describe it. You may want to have someone who is experienced at it take a look at the plug. NOTE: your buddy who suggested that the points need attention would not be a good choice...... (points are old technology, haven't been on dirt bikes for over 20 years) Rod [/QUOTE]
