Hey guys I have a good one for you. I have a 96 kdx 200 with about every mod done to it. Before last season I had Eric Gorr do his 225 mod. It ran beautifully all last season except the last ride. On the last ride of the year It seem to lose its topend. The bottom was as crisp as always, but the top got real groggy, and it just didn't really hit anymore. It felt as if the power valve wasn't working. So I tore it down this past winter, and didn't really find anything wrong. The power valve had some build up and was a little sticky, so everything was cleaned. I threw a set of rings in it, and rebuilt it. I just got it out and it is behaving the same way. The bottom end seems great, but the is really groggy, and it just doesn't seem to kick in. I have tried different jettings, but really don't think this is the problem. I took the carb completely apart, and flushed it thoroughly. I changed plugs, and after riding it around tonight pulled the plug and it is a nice tan brown color.
Could something be wrong that it isn't advancing my power valve? I am kind of at a loss, because this thing has never really given me any problems.
I am trying to get it ready for an enduro this weekend.
Thanks in advance.
