Running Rich
#12
Well, i checked my plugs and they were quite dark, and some were no good so I replaced them all. I cleaned my air filter, It wasn't too bad though. I think what ever I did worked though, because it didn't start up real well and it ran better with the choke on, so I think it is leaned out now. I'll see how it rides tomorrow when it warms up. Thanks for all the help.

The air filter could have been more clogged than it looked, too. If that was the case, it would lead to it running more rich..
I bought a riding lawnmower one time that was running super rich because the guy who owned it before me decided to cover the air filter in really thick oil, and then never change it.
It would start super hard when warm, blow a little black smoke, etc. Same idea.
So is it starting a good bit better now?
I would just keep an eye on the plugs and see if it starts doing it again. If it does, you'll probably need to sync the carbs and adjust the air/fuel adjustment screws on the carbs...
