After cleaning out the carb on my '81 KX 420, it runs really rich and has even less power than it had before. When I bought the bike last month it would at least wheelie in first gear when it hit the power band. Now it sputters a lot and no power band wheelies at all.
Air filter has 90W gear oil on it, is this restricting the air enough to cause such problems?
Gearing is 14/48.
Pilot jet is 35
Main jet is 165
Needle jet is 371 / R-8
All in all she burns a lot of gas, puffs a lot of smoke most of the time, only idles when first started, and fouls a lot of plugs.
What should the fuel height be set to?
Anybody have a picture of the flywheel timing marks, and how far can you generally stray from stock timing? I unbolted this once, but then couldn't decide for sure what was supposed to line up with what.
Do I need to get real filter oil before going for smaller jets?
How many gears should this thing wheelie in just from the powerband when I get it running right?
Thanks,
Chris
