What's your question? engine is to rich, after a ride the plugs get sooty
Details: is there a upgrade for the factory carb to make this problem go away.

Post an answer

Answers:

  1. Running sooty at the plugs is not always a carburetor problem. If that carburetor has been running good for the last 21 years...it's more than likely your problem may lie somewhere else. Not sure whether your carburetor is a CV or a butterfly Keihin. Catch me up...and anything else you've done to your ride just before you noticed this.

  2. Check ignition timing. Check for weak spark from ignition coil. Does it blow a lot of black smoke from the tailpipe at idle? If so, you may have a carb problem. If not, probably ignition related. Is there any oily residue on the plugs? If so, check compression. By: woodsman416 on: 5-21-2009
