Friends, sorry to be needy here. I am stumped: My 1982 fires up fine. Runs for about 3 minutes and plugs are FOULED black. Plugs are correct rating for my jetting, etc. (bike has been running fine for years with no problems until now). My carbs are tuned and synced, air and fuel are all flowing. No leaks around carb boots or otherwise. So I turn to my ignition: Coil seems fine (currently double checking). Spark plugs and wires seem fine. The PO has swapped out the points ignition for electronic ignition (has been running fine for a long while). Is it possible that my ignition (CDI?) has failed? Or simply possible that a wire has come loose / failed somewhere in the ignition circuit and I need to check that? Or...?? thank you!
