YupAlright. Thank you
Richer than catshit? Is that a trade term?It looks like it is running richer than catshit. Probably had the float set last in 2002-2003 depending on when the carburetor was minted. They will blow smoke out of everything when they are running raw fuel down the intake. JUST MAYBE it is where you were getting the smell of gas!! So check the float valve, set it, make sure that the floats are even and level with eachother and clean the carburetor. Including knocking out the need jet and holder and cleaning behind it.
Make sure that your pv moves freely. Likely with all the fuel and oil flowing all over it, it is quite free though.
Plug dark or even oily looking?
Just contacted the previous owner and he said that he tried messing with the float height for "better performance". Looks like i have to re tune it. The stupid shit some people do because someone says itll increase the bikes performance.
