Easiest way to see if its rich is like Jakobi stated. Black plug, excessive smoke, stumble/ blubber at certain Rpm range. For instance my bike seems to run well at 1/2-full throttle, but still smokes too much. I had to crank the idle way up to get it to idle consistently and from idle to 1/4 it sputters, it doesnt rev smooth, starts to clear up 1/4 to half but still has a sputter.

The biggest and most obvious way to check is to pull the plug. Mine is BLACK, very BLACK, almost wet. the electrode, core, base, everything is black. Second easiest way is the line of spooge half way down the silencer and on the back fender.

I do prefer to run my bikes on the rich side but this is still excessive.

FYI I am running 50:1 with 93 pump gas and Klotz super techniplate premix.

Also, the fastway pegs on my YZ bolted right up to the Gasser. Jetting swap, pipe guard install and EE rotor guard install is tonight.

You're lucky to have the YZ! A few of the parts are an easy swap or cross over with a little modification (pegs, brakes & pads, brake pedal, kick starter, jets). If you pull the needle from the YZ and find its the stock N3EW inc stock clip #2 I'd suggest flipping it straight on over, or trying clip 3.

For reference.
N1Ex#1 172 = N3Ex#2 178 from 1/4 throttle on, with the later leaner off the bottom. The N3xx needles need a richer main as they are twin taper compared to N1Ex being a triple taper.
N1Ex#2 = N3Ex#3
N3Cx is the half clip leaner option to N3Ex, So N3Cx#3 is half way between N3Ex#3 and #2.
