OK, here's my latest semi-knowledgable theory. I dropped a jet size each circuit, moved the clip to the #2 position, and the bike seemed to have no power off idle. Put the clip back in the 3rd position, and it seemed to help, but it still fouls plugs badly. (my original problem). So.................
#1 While warming up, it smokes very little idling, and quiet a bit (even smoke rings) when I give it a quick rev. and...
#2 When I feel the plug starting to foul, it won't take gas, and doesn't produce enough power to pull away, BUT it will still idle fairly well, THAT...
it is probably still too rich on the high speed jet. (currently a 158) It developes a lean bog (I think) when I set the air screw two turns out, so I guess the pilot is close. (air screw set around 3/4 out)
I'm still leaving it with my "guru" Monday, but I'm gonna ket him in on these thoughts. (though he probably does'nt need me in the way) I'm guessing the good set up will be in the neighborhood of:
45 Pilot
155 Main
Clip in 3rd notch
Air screw @ 3/4 out
Does all my ignorant gibberish sound like it may ring true? For anyone wondering why I don't follow all the standard plug check methods, I don't have a good place to run a good chop, and if I did I would probably kill myself trying. One last thing. When I pull a fouled plug, it has quiet a bit of material on it. (crusty carbon, not aluminum) When I finally get this thing jetted right will it burn itself clean or do I have a big crusty mess inside my mill? Thanks.
