i cant imagine needing to go lower after a rebuild...

what all is done to your bike?

where are you located? elevation, temp?

what ratio of fuel are you running?

is it fresh fuel and freshly mixed?

that doesnt sound right at all... it ran ok before?

Well its fairly common to foul a plug while breaking in a new top end.
Id try a fresh plug and see if its still doing it.
With the mods you have and fresh top end I would think you need to go higher(148) if anything? just my 2 cents!
