Maybey I'll just work on getting the jetting cleaned up a bit more. After a ride on a pal's KTM 300 I see myself headed in that direction in the not too distant future. The green meenie will make a great second bike for my kids!
What I really want is a cleaner pull from the bottom end. I am running a 42 slow jet, 145 main with the clip on the needle in the second from top position, I have no idea if this is the stock needle or not, I assume so as the bike came to me with the factory tires on it! Most of my riding is in pretty steep, rocky, rooty terrain so I am usually riding in 1-3rd gears. My plug is black and slightly oily when I pull it out generally. I run 40:1 mix. In the summer I run the air screw about 3 turns out to get decent throttle response.
Should I try a smaller L/S jet and/or change the needle?
Thanks!
