I have driven 20 miles on my bike and I am already on my second set of plugs.
I have a single JS Motorsport carb, and a Boyer ignition. Everything else is stock.
My plugs are black and sooty, so I assume I am running rich, my timing has yet to be verified by a timing light, buying one tomorrow if I can find one in town.
If I am running rich, should I turn my air mixture screw in, or out? And would my timing cause fouled plugs?
I am going to change the oil tomorrow, I will make sure not to over fill it, as I know this can cause the issue as well.
One other issue, seems to be noise coming from the top end of the motor, just a clinky nose, doesn't sound terrible, but I have no idea what a Norton is supposed to sound like, so I am a little worried.
When it is running, it has lots of power, lots of speed and it so fun to ride.
