Default Rejetting, symptoms?

I think I already know the answer to this...
Most of the trails around here regularly run 9000-10000 feet. Should my bike be rejetted?
Someone told me i will burn a hole in my piston if i dont, is this possible?
Also, my bike has really hard trouble starting in the highness, and it misses pretty bad WOT.
I think it might be jetting... Where does one get a new jet? Are they sizes or do i need to bring the carb with to do this?
Thanks for yer' help.
