I fouled my plug because I mixed it 16:1 not knowing. So I changed the spark plug and re cleaned my carburetor completely and it started up 2nd kick. Still barely has any power and I haven't even really felt the power band at all. So after about 2 or 3 minutes of riding it gets worse. So I stop and see that oil is dripping out of my breather box pretty bad. This is the second time this has happened. The top end was just rebuilt be for I got the bike so I thought it might have been in thier from before it was rebuilt. Any ideas?? Need help

Check compression and if possible do a leak down test.
Sounds like it could be a clutch side crank seal problem.

check the float level in your carb. gas overflowing and backing into the air box is the only reason I can think of that liquid would start dripping out of it

KDXs have the trans vent line routed up into the air filter box when they leave the factory.

it's going to run like crap until the reeds shed off all that oil, and if the site filter is soaked in oil ... it will run richer than need be.
