Bike runs great. Both plugs sooty. Filter was recently cleaned and i cleaned it again but it wasn't excessivly dirty. Took pilots out tho not mains and checked for clogging. No problems there.Floats seem fine because i recently checked them, not because of this but out of curiosity. And no, i always turn the choke off as soon as i possibly can. Wierd ! I guess i'll check the plugs again and see if it's still happening. (threw some old but still good ones in after i saw they were sooty)
I did find the manifold rubbers were very loose, but if you say that would run lean then i guess thats not it. Makes sense vaccum leaks would make it lean, but i checked for vaccum leaks anyways. as for the condoms, i could never find those looking under the bike. Maybe because mine is california and has EVLS?
