• Did you change anything else (port, pipe, carb..) If not then your jetting should be close if not the same as before the rebuild.

• it had a light trail port "confirmed by my old mx mech" so i am guessing it was jeted for that it ran ok befor i took it apart.. just making sure the reeds wont affect it much
