    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The plug on the left is from the far right hand cylinder and looks like it came from a soot factory. The plug on the right is representative of the rest of my cylinders. I assume the fuzzy one is running rich..... I have also noticed some backfiring on decel (from that side I think). I am not sure why. I did a complete carb clean following the instructions here a few weeks ago. With the other three plugs/carbs looking good what could be the problem (and solution)? I am running everything stock (as far as I can tell) with a uni-filter foam air filter.

the idle mixture screws are all turned out equally? turning the screw on the rich cylinder in a turn or so may cure the rich mixture.
 
That's a tough one. Hard to figure what would cause too much gas or too little air to that one cylinder. I wondered about an ignition problem (wires or plug cap) with that cylinder, but I guess the plug would be wet if that were the problem.

What was the bike running like before the carb cleaning?
 
Also looks like a float level could be off. A high float level will let that carb run rich.


By the way, excellent photography. Good, clear picture, but can you find a way to resize it? Either shoot at a lower resolution or use a free-ware program called Irfanview to resize it. Suggested maximum might be 800x600. Most of us are probably using a bit more than that on our monitors, and for the few that might be using a monitor resolution of 800x600, there will be minimal scrolling involved. Makes it a LOT easier to see the whole picture at one time, and it keeps your text from scrolling across the entire width of the picture. Thanks
