Carb experts need advice
Hey guys,
I have done the following mods,
capped off smog stuff
drilled out airbox port
Uni air filter
13t frt sprocket
125 main
2.5 turns out on screw
drilled out slide 7/64ths
new needle 2nd slot down from the top
Klx 300 stock exhaust w/ custom head pipe work( ground 1/8 of an inch of excess weld off around the head pipe where it meets the cyl. Great bang for the buck $40 of craigs list and sounds almost as good as a Big gun
the bike runs way better than stock and doesn't have any bad traits thruout the rev range. MyQ's are how to get more bottom and midrange power. ( it runs best on top 5500+) It will not even consider wheeling even with a heavy tug on the bars. I accidentally left out the collar so i need to go back in there and only want to do it one more time.I am thinking of a 128 main,( maybe)40 pilot and 1 more slot down on the needle. I am not completly sure how the carb works and need opinions on what i need to do short of a pumper carb. I ride/live at 2000 ft in elevation and am 175 lbs.
TIA for your opinions

Thanks jsac,
Helpfull but still need more imput i.e what each part of the carb does. I think thepilot is bottom, the needle is mid and main is top but not sure. Also forgot that i have a kdx200 snorkle.

RE: Carb experts need advice
if the bike is running fine from the bottom to the top there isn't much more power you can get from rejetting. you may get some by going to the 128 main but the best way to get more power down low is to change your gearing.
try going up 2 or 3 teeth in the rear to see if that works. a lot of guys are running a 13/45 i believe and seem to be happy with it. i run the 14/47 and am happy with it. i do have a pumper carb but i liked the gearing even with the stock carb. with the 14/47 you lose quite a bit of top speed though. it'll still do 60 mph (which is plenty fast enough with the trackmaster II's that i have).
