Hahaha! You know you’ve made it when….

Dude is making sense here.
These 300s just work now days. Mucking around to solve a fouling issue is rare.
Fouling is most likely due to bad fuel, too much 2T oil and bad plugs.
2014/2015 jetting is not necessarily suited to 2003-2013 (or whenever the 36mm carb came in).
Always aim for 1.5 turns out on the pilot. Anything more than 1 turn either way and jet change 35/38/40.
Dude’s needle is a good choice – I run it too now on #3.
I used to run (and Rocket runs now I think): 35 pilot, 165 main, N3CJ #3 . (2008 300EXC)
Now I run: 38 pilot, 165 main, NECJ #3.
BR7ES is for Europe and cold climates. BR8ES or BR8ECM is what you probably should run – shiney new one. If your running a 7 to fix a fouling issue, I think you’re masking the issue.
Just about everyone I know run 50:1 fully synthetic. 40:1 if you like wasting money and like buying oil more often. Manual recommends 60:1 which is probably not a great idea.
Start with the plug and 2T mix, make sure the pipe has been burned out of carbon and muffler repacked (plus all the other assumed stuff – clean filter, no air leaks). Hopefully the piston and rings aren’t stuffed too (>200hrs)? Then play with jetting.

I’m dizzy….

Onya Al! Hope you had a top day off work!

Bloody hell Murph stick to the bikes they are much safer – maybe not…
Glad to hear your OK, lucky you didn’t crack your skull open. I bet your family are giving you heaps!
Rest up!

I’m setting my bike up again for a camping trip this weekend. Give me a ring when you want to go out local next.

Answer = buy a new one 1st and see how it goes.

Sounds like a good option to me too

new very secondhand front sprocket to get through tomorrows ride i hope was not much left of the old one .new chain and sprockets and countershaft seal oring coller next week if i can get them bloody leaky ktms

Not again with the countershaft leak! I have never had a leak there in my last 3 KTMS. Make sure you buy the o-ring (or the whole kit) mail order and in original KTM bags with part numbers. Otherwise your getting o-rings from the bearing shop that is the wrong size (like from our local dealer).

Spot on Murph. Mine is still new, 200kKm. Not fancy but as you say, I know it will get there no matter how far. 😆

Don’t be tempted. These new fadangled utes have nothing going for them other than pretty much everything. My Patrol is 15 years now and I wouldn’t trade it. I’m not helping much I think. Look I’m sure most Afgans would dream to own a 20 year old ute….

Where did you go? Tomingly? Gee your fit!

Good opportunity for a call for donations! Donate button is the big yellow one on the left of screen.
I had to log into D.B.W for some time wasting, that’s how desperate things got here.

G’day, I’m wondering if you make a living out linking youtube videos or it’s just a side income? It’s easy work. You just do quick searches on youtube for content related to a forum and the more clicks/referrals the more money Google pays. I read the other day that a lady that runs an “unboxing” youtube channel where she and others film themselves opening consumer products like toys rakes in millions of dollars a year…. If only I came up with that myself.

Very clever crank/stroke. I’d say it won’t be doing 13,000 RPM!
The moor reminds me of a 2T Diesel actually. As with the 2TD, needs a supercharger to work better
