Scott,
How blue is it? Fading away slowly to blue or "Holy Discolored Cromium,
Batman!" blue?
Mine is like yours in that the carbs are set up properly, the plugs look
great, runs like a top, pipe turns blue. Don't sweat it unless it went off
color real quick.
And don't forget to check your timing. Not just at idle but for total
advance. It is the right hand (furthest clockwise) mark on the crank
pulley. You need a timing strobe light to check this. It should reach full
advance at about 3000 RPM I believe. I don't have a book handy but that
would be pretty close The more retarded it is the hotter the exaust will
get. Had a Mille GT blue the pipes all the way to the crossover in a matter
of minutes when the ignition advance failed.
Keep us posted!

| Would greatly appreciate anyones diagnosis of my bikes problem.My problem is my right cylinder head pipe is getting blue yet my left is not.Plugs both are a nice tan color,both carbs are synched reasonably well,no intake leaks,motor just completely rebuilt-heads,carbs,big bore,balanced crank etc.Timing is correct.I am concerned i might hole the piston on the right side due to overly lean condition.Lowered the needle jet clip to the bottom groove,ran it up to speed,cut motor and pulled the plugs.Rt. side was black.Think i will put it back to correct groove.What do you think?What would you do?Ive spent alot on this motor,would like it to last.Thanks Scott K Scott Kelso Hillsboro,NH 73 eldo ============================================================ Make good on the promise you made at graduation to keep in touch.
