I know that once you get down into the guide hole, it gets kind of narrow. You need a washer that will both raise the needle and fit down into the guide hole. (There are two needle designs and I'm assuming you have the kind that allows you to move the clip down, based on your description.)
The biggest jet I've ever heard of anyone using on one of these bikes was a 135. Anything bigger than that has always resulted in the bike running too rich.
What main jet are you running now? 130? Richen it up just a tad, with maybe a 135 and your needle adjustments won't need to be so drastic.
You'll then have to alter the pilot a smidge. But sounds like you know what you are doing enough that it would be better to get it dialed in 100%.

there are no settings on my needle just a washer and an eclip I am hoping to add a washer to adjust it so that I don't have to buy a needle that has the "slots" that you move the eclip from place to place. I have the brass washer that was above the eclip below it now But I am looking to add some more but m unsure of the extent that washers can be added before it will cause malfunction of the needle jet system that is there, i.e. if i add too many washers is it gonna damage the diaphragm or the needle jet guide system ?
