Hey guys and gals,
This is my first forum post about my first "restore"on my first and only motorcycle. I was given this bike by a relative that had a bad habit of riding drunk. When I got it, he said it needed work and that I should sell it for $500. I saw the potential and could not let it go. The wiring was a mess. Duplicated wires, plugs carbon or oil fouled, carbs in desperate need of rebuild and sync, rear tire bad, multiple oil leaks, broken push throttle cable, and intermittent loss of 2 cylinders. I have spent the last year learning as I go. It is now fairly reliable, but still needs more work. Main problem I have is that it fouls 2 plugs every 50 miles. Those two plugs run off of the same coil and always seem to fail ~20 miles before the other 2. Unknown if carbon or oil fouled. I got a set of aftermarket carbs for free and had a local shop jet and sync them, but it still keeps killing plugs. If it is running rich, then it is only slightly rich. Any recommendations?
