Sound check ?

Am I paranoid ? Just did a oil and filter change (1.3L) since it as been 3000 km since the last one (thrid one so far on 6000km total) and even ajusted both valves clearance properly 2 times. Friend told me it sound weird... It sound normal, right ??

2008 XT250 carburetor questions

Hi all, long time listener, first time caller. I have a 2008 XT250 and I drilled out the cover on the idle air screw and turned it an additional 1.5 turns to 3 turns total. Now the bike runs awesome for the first quarter throttle, after that it can be felt loosing power and falling on its face, I assume I need bigger jets however I don’t know for sure, that being said when I try finding bigger jets I can find any for the TM33 carb, im also planning on putting a higher lift camshaft and big bore in the bike this winter so I know it’ll need to be jetted then as well. So im wondering if it would be better to get new jets or get a different carb for it? Any help is appreciated (im trying to find a #140 main jet and a #35 pilot jet for now before the engine build)
