93 venture Posted July 14, 2014 #26 Posted July 14, 2014 I consider it amazing that the bike even ran on 2 cylinders much less was capable of speeds close to 60 mph... Yeah but Bob, Harleys do it everyday and are able to do close to 60 mph too!

Flyinfool Posted July 14, 2014 #29 Posted July 14, 2014 Well, actually what happened is some insect decided to build a nest in the float vent hose for #1 and #2 carburetors. What happens is as the fuel pump fills the area, positive air pressure fills up the float cavity preventing the needle valve from closing off. The fuel pump is continuously pressurizing the cavity so where does the gas go?? through the ventura and into the upper cylinder area so that when the valve opens the combustion chamber gets waaay more gas than the required ideal 14/1 ratio, resulting in a less than ideal ratio which will not ignite as well if at all. This results in an extremely rich mixture which leaves the spark plugs with a black deposit and wet. I consider it amazing that the bike even ran on 2 cylinders much less was capable of speeds close to 60 mph... If the plugs are wet with gas then everything is wet with gas which can wash down the cylinder walls. Check your oil for gas contamination.
Marcarl Posted July 14, 2014 #30 Posted July 14, 2014 If the plugs are wet with gas then everything is wet with gas which can wash down the cylinder walls. Check your oil for gas contamination. Does that make it go faster??? I thought clean cylinder walls was a good thing,,,, or are you thinking about the other two walls???? Now I'm confused
bongobobny Posted July 14, 2014 Author #31 Posted July 14, 2014 Changed the oil yesterday! I doubt there was THAT much surplus gas to do that but hey, you never know...
