fouling no 2 plug

[quote author=excess.11
What have you done recently that you have nt mentioned so far?
Is the vac advance connected to the correct carb?
Are you sure float levels and assembly are faultless when reassembling the replacement carby?
Is the choke working mechanically on the 2 carb and closing off ?

Had to be one of those options.....not much else to cover.
Well done on the result.

Remove the spark plug and if you have a multimeter test between the inside thread of the spark plug hole with the other lead to a clean ground point either on the frame or motor.
Check using resistance and continuity settings.
Visually check the thread to see if it s relatively clean.
Go to your local auto shop and buy a plug tap to suit the spark plug thread...run it through the thread to clean it up....being careful not to hit the piston.
But DO check to make sure there isn t a hellicoil thread been inserted that may have an excess of Loctite on it.

What you ve done so far is good..... in narrowing down the likely suspects.
Don t get disheartened .....Have you checked the diaphragm in that carby?
Is the slide correctly aligned and moving freely...... have you changed the hi tens lead as well as cap and plug all at the same time?
I m assuming the carb isn t flooding ..when the bike is turned off.....other than the excessive wetting of exhaust and plug you ve mentioned when riding and checking afterwards.
To be isolated to one carb only ...generally would eliminate any part of the electrical that serves to fire 2 pots at once that  they are assigned to...ie pick up coil.....TCI.....coil ....general wiring.
Has the head been helicoiled on that plug and possibly had too much Loctite used....maybe partially insulating the plug from ground?

Was on the blower with the barefoot mechanic trying for a magic fix.  Thanks Steppers for the sound advice.

Tried a proven black box.......no difference

Tried a proven coil..........no difference.


played with the carbs........ Reset the circlip to the middle notch.

An appreciable difference with Tony laying a shed load of rubber down Carrington Rd.

Rode the 20 odd Kay's to my place. At around the half way mark, a puff of black smoke out of the rhs pipe, and running on 3 again.

Getting lost for ideas.

Will try a bank of proven carbs from my old faithful.

Hey chooksta,

Define "a great price"

If around $2k is a great price then there are a couple of bikes out there. Well there was and they may still be available.

[hen]

I think the big B has made a low offer because I will come and pick it up for $101.
Just fooling around but Who ever is out there I need another bike at a great price to pull the DJP to keep the ONE who must be OBEYED with me on short trips with the Dish Licker
Life would be so simple if we did not Love
