So the last couple of rides on my 01 300 it has not wanted to clean out close to wot I have rode this bike here for 3 years with no issues at all Pulled carb to verify jets 42 p 170 m 2 turns out on as 7 slide I could have sworn i changed needle years ago to a cck But it had a n1ee in it We are 3500 ft with corrected air close to 6000' lookd thru jetting data base and that is real close Had a spare CEK needle and stuck it in at ctr clip and it seems alot better We are in a horrible drought and way hottter than normal also Any thoughts
