I Give Up

I give up. I don't know what to check anymore.

About two weeks ago I got the bright idea of fooling around with the carb, just to see if could get it to run even better than it was. I should have left my hands off. Once I moved the needle clip the bike will idle, but at about 3,000 rpms it breaks up and backfires, like an extremely lean condition. I moved the clip to a couple of of different spots and nothing helps. I tried turning the fuel mixture screw all the way in and then trying to adjust it from about 2 1/2 turns out. I checked the plug, checked the gap, tried a new plug. The plug is a little whitish, like it was running too lean. Nothing helps. I don't know anything else to try except take it to the dealer and see if he can fix it. The whole thing p****s me off, because it was running good, and now I have to load it up and take about 25 miles in the back of my truck.

I should add that I took the carb off and cleaned it and the main jet.

Anybody know anything else I could try?
