[b]Running Much Better Now!![/b]

Last night I went trough Canadian Dave's step by step carb setup guide to check if you have the correct pilot jet.  The pilot was good.  I have a little less than two turns.  I put the needle clip in the second from top position for the 1/4 to mid range.  I then took that bike out to a local spot this morning.  The throttle was perfect up until upper mid range to WOT.  I rode for about an 30 minutes like this, and It do not get better. Now knowing that the bike was completely warm, and the issue was still present.  I decided to put the 142 Main back in.......OMG I love my KDX 220 now!!  The top was there with more than enough for my beginner needs!! Hill climbs were literally " A Blast!!" the throttle was crispy almost throughout...a little midrange burble just ever so slightly. Thank all of you for your help and advice....the bike finally feels really good.  I will try to do a plug chop next weekend....but if 142 is the next jet down...then is there really a point to it?  I guess just to make sure I am not over lean.  I'm a newbie to motorcycles, and I am sure that I will have more questions from time to time.  Thanks!!  MBK
