[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 212936, member: 98"] Glad things got fixed up ....this was obviously a severe flooding condition ...after getting into carbs as any oldwing owner has to or have plenty of money not to ....I became not a fan of the slide needle and seat system and even worse vacuumed slide operation and throttle plate sync adjusting ...as ultimately the throttle plate is never really closed ...so even at idle this carb was feeding gas from the worn seat and flooding everything ...no wonder the plug was fouling out. I’m at the belief that the needle and seat set up dam near nullify actual jetting in stock carbs as basically it is a jet with the biggest influence on things even when everything else in a carb can be perfect ...I also think needle and seat is the biggest reason stock carbs seem to have bad spot through the rpm ...years ago on my stock 79 I got the carbs working really good but it had its spot where it lacking ..though very slight it was always there Glad the bike has had its bad part identified and changed ...I’m not sure the slight different part will ever be a issue ...I’d ride it a while as is and give it a chance to see how it does ...in my opinion [/QUOTE]
