That was before it was known that an 8 is what it should be. You can ask anyone who has ridden KDX's for a while. A 9 is just too cold....

Wow, First step is to track down whoever stole your punctuation keys and kill him. Next, you could post some meaningful information such as what jets are currently installed, your riding altitude and temperature so that someone might have a clue as to how close you are on the basic jetting.

It's very common for someone to break the KIPS during a top end job and that may be the case in your bike. You could search the tons of posts on this topic, but to check you can remove the round cover on the left side of the cylinder that has the large slot cut in it. Start the bike and rev it while watching the shaft inside. when you get to about 6K RPM, it should begin turning, and when you back off it should return. This tells you the governor and linkage are working, but not that the valves themselves are operating, to see that you need to take the pipe off, and look up the exhaust port and check operation (engine off).

Oh, and a manual would be a great help to you.

Are you using a 9? You should be running a 8 range plug.

I found a brand new, but old spark plug in my tool box, probably from a previous bike. It's a NKG Gold Palladium V #B9EV. The threads are a little shorter than the stock B9ES. The question is, will it work in a '92KDX 200?

Thanks

Not saying it is your problem but it's a good start. Find out what jets you have already.
If I remember right, you can actually check the valve by removing the cover on the left (the round one with the notch in it, use a big flat screwdriver) and watch if the valve are actuating or not by reving the engine
