    It's a richer cutaway. It's also the one that is supposed to be in the carburetor from the factory.

    Richer as the number gets smaller. Its a smaller cutaway so less air.

    Took for her first run this morning, feels crisp, checked the plug when i got home, black, will leave it a little rich for now. Starting easy enough, first or second kick. Haven't ordered a lectron yet, still playing with the mikuni, moved the needle to third clip position from the second and wound the air screw from 1.5 turns back to 1 turn. I installed the thinner base gasket as well.

    The gay needle at # 3 is what my 300 was at when it seized. I even found online a race manual (can't find it now) that said for motocross put at #4, for sand #5. I ran mine at 5 for awhile in the dessert, then got the jd kit and never looked back.

    He is on the JD kit, so the GAY needle settings are a bit apples to oranges.

    I think that the JD red needle on the 3rd clip is good for cooler weather singletrack and the 2nd is good for warmer weather. If you're riding faster stuff, MX, sand, etc, it needs to be richer for sure. I don't know how much. You didn't say if you're still riding the dunes or if you're in the woods.
