blaster flooding with vitos jet kit

But, it seems like it runs out of power from mid-high rpm. I put it up on stands and ran it through 6th gear, and it has no power, no high rpm. Why is that? I have the clip on the needle on all the way on rich, is that why its getting no power?

Read my post above on jetting.
The main takes care of the top end (3/4 to full throttle).
The Needle takes care of midrange (1/4 to 3/4 throttle).

Sounds like you need to adjust the main, but you need to make these adjustments under load (IE riding it).

Then once you get it running somewhat smooth, do the afore mentioned plug checks with fresh new plugs.

Does it bog or blubber on the top end?
Blubber = too rich
Bog= too lean.
I kinda doubt you are too lean with a 290 main, but I suppose it is possible.

Put the needle clip to one position richer (Down one notch) than stock, and work with the main jet from there.
