[QUOTE="glad2ride, post: 1405716, member: 62076"] Having two different same model carbs sounds like a very good idea to me. Your problem is going to be that in order to have each one set properly for your two different altitudes, you will need to first experiment with one carb at one elevation and get it set properly, then adjust the other one and do a little fine tuning while at that particular elevation. Do not forget that temperature and humidity changes will effect the jetting, besides altitude. Start with the pilot jet, then work your way up. The needle for the '86 and '87 KDX200 is an OEM specific needle for the Mikuni carb, and you will have a REAL headache trying to buy standard needles to swap out with the stock needle. You may want to just stick to changing the clip position. The "needle jet" is changeable, but I have never fooled with it. The Keihin carbs that many talk about on here are for 1988 and newer full sized models. Don't get confused, as yours is a Mikuni (or was when stock). Remember, start with the pilot and work your way up. Good lcuk with it, and CONGRATULATIONS on having a plated two-stroke in Kalifornia! [/QUOTE]
