So my bike has been running funny when it gets warmed up.. almost like its too rich. Throttle gets soggy and no power. After sorting out electrical problems this Summer, ive pretty much eliminated that and narrowed it down to fueling. Ive been running like this for maybe 2 months. Yesterday it got pretty bad. Throttle response was crappy and it would choke out until i got going. I advanced the timing a couple weeks ago because it was slightly retarded. That helped a bit but my idle was still terrible. Had to keep it abive 1500 but would still drop to a stall.. still unsure about the power loss at 8.5k rpms. Finally i had enough and took the carbs off to find this. Did a plug chop anyway, plugs have maybe 1500-1800 miles..
