1993 kx 500 kips valve tuning
b4himdude:
alright i went with the 52 pilot and i dont think its better. is there a possibility that maybe the main jet might be too rich? ive cleaned the heck out of the carb. changed the throttle cable. i have noticed that it seems like when i go passed half throttle is when it chokes up. it does finally cough it out but its not right on the pipe like it should be. it kinda gurgles itself to full power. as long as i stay on it i can keep it from doing it . but like if i keep the throttle mellow for a few seconds it takes that time to clear out again. whats a size down from a 168 main? oh ya i also measured my float height. i dont have one of those bowl adapters but it looked like it was right as far as the measurement goes the book specifies. . i have about a half float bowl full when i remove it. no spills. so im thinking its probably not that. but i dont know. i hate to keep bothering you all but ,you've got me this far so i hope to stick to where the knowledge is and get this thing dialed in..... thank you.

next size down on the main is a 165, then 162...I wouldn't go any lower than 162.
what position is the needle clip currently in?
b4himdude:
right now its in the center position. but prior to my ride about a half hour ago i moved it from the second to there thinking maybe it would tell me something. it seemed to be worse than it was in the second position. so richer isnt the answer anywhere its looking like. the plug is being left a little damp as well. but i have to ride slow from about a block and a half from my house to the dirt.
b4himdude:
is a br8es hotter or cooler than an eg? plus i have a br8egv whas that?
Foxx4Beaver:
there's a good chance you're probably gonna need to find a leaner needle, which I mentioned earlier for fine tuning...like an N82P or an N82T
