Kinda obvious perhaps, but a stuck choke can cause plug fouling. Does your
bike have the handlebar mounted choke lever? If so, cable routing is
important. It is easy for the cables to get kinked or bound up (or
mis-adjusted) such that the choke mechanism on one or both carbs doesn't
completely "deactivate" even though you've moved the lever.

Ok,
Anyone know what could be causing plugs to foul out quickly?
I am on my second set and have only about 10 miles and a lot of idleing on
the last new set.
I have the carb set left about 1 turn out on the mixture right about 3/4
turn out, needles in the third notch from the top
in the top notch bike seems to run to lean. Plugs are burning really black.

PS at least the poping is fixed :-)
