Started with the following from PO, supposedly jetted to 5k' ft.

2011 ec300e
PWK 38
60-90F
Where I have ridden is 6-11k' ft
180 main
40 PJ
N3EH needle, middle clip
#7 slide
As my first modern 2t I was quite surprised at the instant, abrupt power. Against everything I had read , it was difficult to crawl up steep tech sections without spinning out and was easy to stall. 2nd gear was tough to use at slow speed. pulled the plug and the electrode was black, and had a oily film coating to it.

My new carb set up as suggested by Motoadventure, local Gas Gas dealer.
168 main
38 PJ
N3CH needle middle clip
#7 slide
installed new plug.
I rode Lefthand Canyon today and noticed a world of difference! 2nd gear was awesome in slower tech sections and stalled a lot less. The light switch power was muted to a much more useable power.
I have not touched the air screw yet, but may play with it for fine tuning. I was also thinking of dropping the needle one clip to see if it helps
