Hi, the problem is that your bike is running to rich( to much fuel from carb to engine) so its the un-burned fuel mix that your seeing on your plug and thats fouling it out......now this is caused by either to rich of fuel mixture(you should be mixing 32:1) or you need to rejet carb so it delivers less fuel to engine... your carb has a jet in it and the # is stamped on it ( if you take the carb off and remove the bowl( 4 screws) you will see it,it will have an octagon shaped head.) for example if the # on it is 55 then you need to go with a 53 or 54...... also a good sign you need to rejet with a smaller jet is your bike will spooge(leak) a black oily residue from exhaust pipe and muffler( same residue thats fouling the spark plug.)

Chances are there is a water build up in the carb float bowls. The water comes from condensation in the gas tank. Try draining the carbs. Another possibility is carburetor main jets partially plugged up. You must clean the carbs if plugged jets are found to be the problem. Please rate my answer. Thanks. tombones49_152.gif

2002 pontiac sun fire engine cuts out at 2000 RPM and stops when you accelerate no service engine light what could be the problem

Possibly a tune up including spark plugs, fuel filter, pcv valve, air filter, and an oil change. Do include the spark plug wires if it has them.
If all of that is fine, see if the spark plugs are covered in oil... that will also cause it to run bad but not necessarily throw the check engine light.
Good luck

Does a Yamaha Jog CV50 have a fuel pump and if so, where is it located please?

Hi, Your motor bike has only 50 cc displacement and has no fuel pump with it. If you have problem with your fueling, just check and clean your fuel line including the fuel filter. Check also the spark plug for malfunction.

I have a 1980 xj650, rode home after buying. It ran out of fuel, now i can not get it started. I've check plugs, spark, fuel flow to carbs, even changed the oil. The cylinders smell of gas and the plugs...

It may be possible that when it ran out of fuel that it grabbed any **** that was in the bottom of the tank and put it into the carbs, which may have gunked them up and they might need to be cleaned.

To verify that it IS or is NOT fuel or Carb related, get some starting fluid and shoot it into the air filter box ( or along the pod filters if the original box has been removed) to see if it starts. If it DOES start, you have a fuel issue either with the carbs being gunked up (idle jet or main jets), or the floats could be stuck open (again with gunk from the bottom of the tank) and thus flooding out your motor (you said it smells like gas). Usually if it smells like gas and the plugs are wet, something is wrong with the ignition since its not burning it. So if all of the above is OK, check the timing under the points cover, you may have to set the gap (on most older bikes its around .30-.40mm) But since you rode it home I doubt thats it.

Trouble starting but once started runs good

How long since your bike was properly serviced? Service includes oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, valve clearance check, fuel filter etc. Check for cracked PCV vent hoses around throttle bodies. checking of throttle body sync. These bikes usually run very well when properly maintained. Trouble starting when cold could be caused by many different things.

Good Luck!
