[QUOTE="Micahdawg, post: 893563, member: 21668"] One thought is that the seal in your rod assembly may be loose and worn out. It probably is if the bike is that old. When you remove the covers you might be allowing air to leak into the cylinder, through that rod and the powervalves, thus leaning out the mixture. WIth the covers in place there would be more of a seal and less way for air to be drawn in. If this is the case, then maybe your problems are just a rich condition for some reason. You blew a spark plug...was it oil fouled? IF so then this could further prove a rich condition. Improper jetting or shot crank seals could richen everything up. Did you check the jetting and needle position when you cleaned it. What premix and ratio are you running? Do you notice a lot of oil behind the KIPS covers? If it leaks one way then it should leak the other way too. Micah [/QUOTE]
