Really...strange what you need to do is see if the bike is running too fat. So...warm her up witha fresh set of NGK! spark plugs. After the bike is warm take it down the street and back. When your on the way back get on the throttle and accelerate then shut er down and coast it into the garage. This will give an acuurate read on the spark plugs at operating temperature and under a load. Pull all the plugs. If they are brown like coffee with cream that means carbs are adjusted correctly. If they are black and wet too rich and if they are white or very light brown too lean. Other problems may be oil soaked plugs from loose top end parts. Maybe valves or guides.

SOURCE: loss of power and back firing. misses out like

check your plugs all of them. after that and you still have a problem you will want to do a compression test on your cylinders. you may have a valve problem. if that is not the case the only thing after that would be the timing.

I have had the same problem with my bike, but found out that the jets were wrong and had to down size two times and now i have had no problems starting up or if i have stalled the bike it only takes about kicks to get it running again.

SOURCE: We keep fouling spark plugs.

Several ways to try. Be sure the air filter is clean and without any tears or punctures, install an in-line fuel filter, gap the spark plug at .030, be sure the stock spark plug is used ( NGK CR7HSA ), be sure the muffler not plugged up at all, increase the idle speed, and change the gearbox oil every 2 or 3 months. The only other thing would be to de-carbon the piston and head but that requires the head to be removed. Taking the head off isn't hard but you must be sure to have the valve cam timed properly when reassembled. If not installed properly, you can bend a valve the first time you try to kickstart.

I don't know how many miles you have on your car, but it is possible that you may have a spark plug being fouled out either with oil or coolant. I had a Protege with 120k and it burned more oil than gas. Change #3 plug and get a good look at the plug you remove. Look for signs of contamination.

You need to check for spark when the back cylinder is not firing to see if that is the problem...from there it will be easier to troubleshoot...also check for vacuum leaks.

Spark Plug Life

Hi.

30,000 miles is about right for changing standard spark plugs. You can install upgraded (and more expensive) Iridium tipped plugs which are claimed to last up to 100,000 miles but on a standard vehicle 30,000 is the correct replacement mileage interval.

Stick to the vehicles recommended service schedule and never mind what your friend says! Afterall these service intervals are already designed for a vehicle running on unleaded!

Carbon build up on plugs has a lot more to do with correct oil and oil filter changes than unleaded fuel.

Hope this helps. Please do rate my answer

Its just fouled some plugs again. Need an overhaul. If you just put a valve job on it it will just put more stress on the rings and will need it anyway. Not much you can do except change plugs all the time!
