Bought a 18 ktm125 from a friend with 20 hrs on bike. Rode it and bike totally rips. Put a new top end in it next day and rode for first time and the bike didn’t seem to have power. Well I figured out I had spring in backwards on power valve. Got that adjusted and started bike with power valve cover off and it is moving but bike doesn’t seem to be clearing out on top end when rode. as this is my first ktm I didn’t measure gasket size before changing. so I purchased a nihilo deck tool to check my piston gap. piston didn’t touch but was just about level with top of head. U can give her hell and the power just isn’t all there like first time I rode it. im thinking my timing is off as I checked stator and piston position just couldn’t find how to adjust it. Stock jetting, 32:1 50/50 c12 93 pump. Any tips would be greatly appreciated on what to check. hot humid weather in my location and it might be jetting I’m just not sure
Ring gap correct?
Maybe clean and lube the whole power valve assembly?

The other thing in question is make sure your reeds don’t have any gap, I had problems with my bike until I looked and the cage was warped.
