needles
Posted: 05:39 pm Sep 10 2017
I have been chasing a very rich condition with my first KDX.
running 50-1 amsoil premix, Carb completely rebuild including new jet block gasket. I am in need of going down 1 size on my pilot from a 40 to a 38 , my main is a 142 and spot on with a plug chop test. I just ordered a CEL needle based on everyone's recommendations and it still ran very rich and sluggish in the 3rd ( middle Position) clip.
I moved the clip to the 1st clip ( top Position) Man did the bike wake up and ran extremely well. I cannot believe that this little change in clip position made such a huge difference. Now the real question ..... I obviously need to move to a leaner needle because I am at the end of adjustment but my understanding of needles is limited . I like the MX style hit of the CEL . I think that is the C in the CEL . What do I need to move to a leaner needle ?
