I may need to do something like slightly larger pilot than stock, but smaller than next size up...
I checked plugs last night, they look like they are a bit lean, not as bad as before though.
So here are some things I have noticed as I have been working on it these past few days:
* With the 145 pilot it ran rich, even at 1 turn out
* With the 142.5 pilot it is running lean, but not too bad at 4 turns. Sounds like 4 1/2 turns might be bad. For my education why is that? What could happen aside from the screw coming out?
* I checked spark, which is tough to do when you only have a kick start and no one to help; there is spark but it looks weak. Again, with no one to help not sure if I'm getting the best ground either with one hand and 2 spark plugs to deal with...
If the spark is weak, and I have suspected that off and on for a while, then that would explain why it's running rich at 1 turn it on 145's. But obviously the spark is strong enough to burn gas with the 142.5's.
I also still have the larger mains in there (2 sizes up from what I had at 142.5)... could this have something not do with it? Feels like no, but at this point I don’t know...
The bike is running great - best ever. I am tempted to run it for a while and keep checking the plugs. Maybe it just runs a bit lean...
Love some feedback on this. Like I said running great otherwise...
Thanks
