[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 11265, member: 54"] I'm about ready to pack up my #1 carb and send it off to you to sort this out!!! There has got to be a reason for the fouling. I've been picking my brain the last couple days. I don't see how it can be spark because you swapped coils and wires. To my surprise, my number 4 plug was black before doing a idle drop and sync, I went for a short ride and it's clean! Try this. With the engine warm, use a spray bottle and spray water on the exhaust pipe, the actual pipe at the head not the chrome shield. Spray each one and compare how the water vaporizes. If #1 is actually running rich it will be cooler. I found the problem with my number 2 carb this way and used it as a tuning tool. [/QUOTE]
