I believe the arrow went up on my 93 or the guy before me put it in upside down. It looked like the reedblock was symetrical so I don't think it matters but I could be wrong. Did you have a gasket on both sides of the cage? Mine only had one and a mechanic told me the guy before me must not have replaced it. He wasn't a KDX xpert but did work on my bike before and he seemed to know his stuff. He said it may have been causing it to suck air and feel like the throttle was stuck.
