raise your needle means lower the clip, making it richer...

raising the clip means lowering the needle, making it leaner...

I think you need to lower the clip/raise the needle

yes, if you have performance mods on the bike there is a good chance you need to lower the needle clip one position

this is what i think i did

Lift needle 1 clip position

so i moved it from the stock position to the second from the top

no, move the clip down 2, I usually just use needle nose pliers to get it off.
