OK, so I understand the basic concept:
a) You need the proper jetting for your bike based upon altitude, and configuration (modifications, as in reeds, rad valves, pipes, etc).
But once you have that nailed down, does changing the mixture, say going from 50:1 to 32:1 effect it ? Do you need to consider the oil and the mixture too when jetting ?
If I've read previous posts right, going from 32:1 to say 50:1 puts more fuel in thus making you run richer and possibly causing you to foul plugs.
I'm not 100% clear on how the oil effects fouling. When you fould a plug on the trail the first thing everyone asks is what oil ya runnin ? What ratio ?
I use, blah, blah oil @ x:y raitio and have never fouled a plug.
Isn't it simply fuel ratio that causes fouling, and oil ratio that just makes it smoke ?
Someone enlighten me. Perhaps after my coffee I'll see the light.
:)
And make it a good answer, not too technical so we can make a FAQ out of it and post it on Just KDX or sumptin
