Not enough gas????

I bet if you trimmed out that "stop lip" to where you can see the air jets you will need to go back down in main jet size and the plugs will look much better. But, if you keep the #190 mains in after trimming plugs will be black and sooted.

It would most likely bring back the fuel in the low to mid circuts as well.

It would be specifically lean in this area given the velocity is slower through the carbs. Enough to run, but if its choking before WOT this is whats turning the plugs white.

Given the condition of the plugs being white can lead to bad things.

Wouldn't run it too long in this condition for sure.

Thats an interesting idea I will give that a good look tonight.

Only a theory. Sorta grasping at straws. You only changed the pods.

Looking at the 54mm filter with the boot removed it covers about half of the air jets diameter to diameter on the 32mm CVs in the garage. The lip sets off 4-5mm from them, so not really blocking them up close. The stop lip is angled about 45° or so. Looks like it should work, but the air jets don't exactly have a direct clean flow path. Not sure if it can be trimmed much.
