Let me see, I pretty much rebuilt EVERYTHING on the bike since I bought it. All the electronics work except for the starter which isnt a big deal to me. Only problem now is that I didnt get a set of mufflers when I bought the bike so I had to hit the junkyard for a set of pipes. I put on a set of 500cc Suzuki pipes and put in OEM jets and K&N cone filters since the original jets were drilled out to god knows what size.
So now I have new jets, stock mufflers, and new plugs and she'll start for a few minutes and then foul out a plug. Settings on both carbs are identical, one plug looks text book perfect and the other is wet sometimes and sometimes ashy. I have cleaned the carbs multiple times with no luck.
I want to ride!
Oh and its a Par. twin. Only 2 cylinders :)

Sporting undertail straight pipes, way too loud!

Pen Argyl Cycle is a good place... obviously they're in Pen Argyl, about 45 minutes from Allentown.

Yes sir, everything is exactly the same settings. The PO didnt mess with the pilot jets just the mains. I thinking of switching the carbs to the opposite cylinders to double check it is my carb messing me up.
