Ok, I think I have finally fixed my charging problem, (Knock, Knock) Now I am having a very rich condition. The bike pulls strong until about 6,000RPM and won't go any further then 7k maybe 7.5krpm in any gear. At idle, it emits black smoke, if you rev it it will go very quickly to 9k along with a big cloud of black smoke. I am going to make sure that all of the float levels are good tomorrow and adjust. I will probably end up taking the entire carb setup off and inspect everything. Should it be obvious if there is any wear on the needle and seat? I am not a huge carburetor buff, but I am learning along the way. Is there anything else that I should be looking for as far as wear and the actual need to rebuild the carbs? It has 17, 500 miles. I plan on adjusting the mixture screws and after I am done synchronizing the carbs as well. I am really hoping that it is a simple float adjustment problem, but I have not had much simple things wrong with this bike yet so...
I know that I have to figure out the initial fuel problem, but, it takes a spark plug (NGK)d8ea or (ND)X24ES-U. I am currently using new NGK's, I would like to use a hotter plug. Does anyone know what a few plugs hotter then these would be?
