It really does sound like you added a whole new issue to the original problem when you did the valve adjustment. That's why the situation feels so confusing.

By the way, what do the carb's needles look like? Are they stock (brass, without clip-rings) or aftermarket (usually steel, with multiple clip-ring levels)? If they're stock, were there any washers under them? If they're aftermarket, what level was the clip at?

But before anything else you should resolve your valve adjustment confusion. Take a look at this how-to FAQ entry: http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/What_is...t_procedure%3F

Then maybe you'll be down to dealing with a single issue type of problem.
