This might make you feel better... A co-worker bought a 90 something HD with an S&S motor and carb. It was too strong of a bike for him, so he needed some lot time to get comfortable with the bike. Fast forward 2 months, I asked how the bike was working out and and if he was getting any good Fall riding in. He replied with, "nows not a good time to ask, it fowling plugs."
I had a hard time holding the comments back.
He then told me that he had a "mechanic" go though the bike and $800 later it's still fowling the plugs... no trailer or truck to get it to a dyno. Haahaa.
The last ride this guy took, it fowled the plugs 3miles from the house, changed plugs and got another mile and a half before it did it again.
I will say it sure is a pretty bike, just won't run.
