main jet on a 300ex?
#2
Since it is always safer to err on the side of rich, I'd buy the next two fatter main jets, install the fatter of the two and test ride at 3/4 to full throttle for a 1/2 mile or so to check for any cutting out or blibbering while on the gas. Then do a plug read by chopping the throttle immediately with no other riding at lower speeds. Check the color of the electrode & insulator for a lean or fat indication. What you want to see is a light tan or brown color for a good mix; a black or dark color shows a rich mix, & a gray or white color tells you you're lean. 1000' of elev. is basically on the edge of requiring a fatter main even when running a stock bike depending on the bike, temp, & riding habits.
If your plug read shows rich then just drop to the lower jet that you bought & re-test.
