Hello all,
Any help would be appreciated. I just bought a Yamaha BW80, my 2nd one now, and this bike wouldn't run when I bought it. I cleaned the carb, set the float, etc. I put a fresh plug in and it will fire or spit back every so often. If I take the plug out and close the gap to about .012 it will run but it seems to foul the plug not long after it has been running. Can't go but maybe a mile or 2 before you have to put in a new plug set 1/2 gap again. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance :coocoo:

Check all the grounds and connections for corrosion.
