Hey gang,
Quick question about these symptoms, as they appear to be hypocritical. The bike has been backfiring out of the carbs and kinda boggy when idling, and have been trying to fix that. I through new plugs in this morning to see how they looked after running a bit, and they came out with dry black soot. This indicates a rich fuel mixture, correct? I am confused because I have read/been told backfiring out of the carb is an indicator of a lean mixture? Any insight much obliged!
