2000 KDX200 purchased used and ridden quite a bit lately.
Posted in the past about fuel leaking through the overflow and the problem ended up being crust on the fuel pin. Cleaned the pin, reassembled the carb and all is well.
Now I feel that I have lost a good bit of power. An example is when in 2nd gear you nail the throttle and the bike should, and used to, take off like a rocket. Not like a rocket anymore, feels like I am at the top end of the power band and I am right at the heart of it. The bike still moves well but simply doesn't have the power that it once did. I was careful to count the turns on the fuel-air screw when I disassembled/reassembled the carb.
Also, it feels like maybe the bike is sputtering when at the top of a gear and coasting to slow down. Sort of a jerky ride in this scenario. It is subtle but still there. Related? Any ideas?
