Boggy usually equals too rich so you are on the right path there.
I am assuming that .6 is referring to the fuel jet size that you have installed.
Can you clarify this? Exactly what carburetor did you have on it before? What carburetor do you have on it now?
Have you done a plug chop to see what the actual mixture is?

Let's go back to the start. You said you "rebuilt the top end". What exactly did you do, and why? How was the bike running before the rebuild and how many miles did it have on it?

We're assuming that because this is in the 2 stroke section that you have a Chinese 2 stroke. Are we correct?
