Good idea. I have checked the cables for free play and the choke seems
to be free. I wasn't checking it for the fouling plugs though, I
wouldn't say that that is reaal obvious possability until someone
mentions it. I'll double check it. I put new plugs in yesterday and
reset mixture to the factory set up again.

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. Jay Williams, '71 Ambo 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.
