Move the needle clip up one position, this drops the needle and leans it out.

I have not jetted any of the older KX80's only the KX85's and 100's so I do not really have any good jetting set-ups for you to try.

Most of these little KX's like to drool, I don't know why the Yamaha's and Honda's can be jetted pretty clean, but the little KX's always have a little bit of drool. I have leaned our bikes to the point that they were boggy and too lean to ride, and they still drooled even with new packing in the muffler. So I just jet them where they run good and the plug looks good. We have never fouled a plug after several years of running these bikes, but we always have a small amount of drool, nothing bad, but a small amount none the less.
