Heat I have a 02 blaster stock bore aftermarket ignition coil and coil pack...fmf pipe boyesen reeds and a 28mm carb....as of now there is a 260 main jet in it....could I try the stock 230 jet to see if it stops loading up? I dropped it in for a few minutes and ripped it around and pulled the plug and it looked dry and kinda goldish....is that a hood thing? Should the plug be at all were looking? Or should it be dry to to the eye? I dont want it running lean but I deff dont want her bogging out either...someone please hook me up w some advice I know the stock main is 230 but isnt that for the 26mm?

No stock 230 main jet in any carb with an FMF pipe or any mods to the airbox/filter.
an FMF requires at least a 270 for a stock carb, I usually suggest to buy 270 thru 310 mains to cover varying temps and elevations. < both play a big part in jetting
start large and plug chop down.
ours with FMF here @ 1800' elevation liked 290/300's in summer temps. winter temps and lower elevations may need richer.

you need to learn and do plug chops before you fry that thing

also look in here to see what others are running with your mods (28mm, FMF) to get a starting point, then plug chop to confirm it's right for your exact machine !
