    Fouled plug

    Hello everyone,
    On my 80GS850 I have one cylinder in which the plug lasts abou 300 miles. It fouls black. All other plugs are light coffee color.
    After putting in a fresh plug all is well for a while. Compression is fine. Spark is big and blue across an adjustable spark gap tester.
    Carbs we done per this site, boots o-rings, airbox sealing etc. Can some one explain the adjustment and location of the screws to adjust the carbs. Thanks as always for all the help.

    Any chance it's in cylinder number 2?

      I'd like to hear the answer to this question too. Mine does exactly the same thing on #2. My carbs are VM29s.
