ok i got a 86 kx250 from this guy for next too nothing because he had put a new spark plug in it and could never get it to start,,so the first thing i do is look atthe spark plug the thing had a gap in it you could stick a ciggarette between,lol so i regap it it starts right up,,so not dressed to ride in flip flops and all i decide to put around the yard,,well that was my mistake,,the thing gos wide open throttle stuck in 1st gear,so i hit the kill switch,and stop,,well i let off the kill switch too soon,and it starts right back up,flys about 15 ft in the air,and the gearshift,and footpeg takes my foot with it,,well needless to say i end up in the ER,and my wife wants to buy a slugge hammer,lol that was 3 weeks ago,my foot is better now,it didnt break but looked like it was,,

so i take it apart today to try and figure out what is up,well the jet needle clip is not even in a groove but half way down the needle,so what groove is it supposed to be in???

Stock is usually the middle position.

cool thanks ,,i tried it on 4 down and the needle still came all the way outa the bowl and would not go back in and be stuck,,so i just put it on the top one for now..
