my 2000 yz 125 is fouling plugs when i have about 15-20 mins of ride time. it has good comp and runs good when i have it running. iv replaced about everything i can think of. but i have not messed with the carb. do you think i need to replace the main jet or any of the jets because its getting to much gas or what....... please help....

If the bike is mechanically sound then it is likely jetted too rich for the type of riding you are doing. Do a search for jetting on here and get started.

Do a quick search to familiarize yourself with jetting. rich or lean does not always refer to the gas/oil ratio!! There is a lot more to your carb than just a main jet as well.
