Rodeoranger Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Well, I do need some serious help. I had problems fouling plugs. Got tired of tunning the CARBS so I bought the Trinty Racing 2 onto 1 carb kit. Ran it last weeend,ran GREAT but near the end of the trip I still FOULD a plug( LEFT SIDE) It seems to be the LEFT plug all the time. I did a compression test and both are the same. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?? i NEED HELP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 You have replaced the plugs with new ones correct? And your air filter is clean right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodeoranger Posted February 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Yep, brand new plgs. The left side does smoke more than the right. Why would one side foul and not the other with the 2 into 1 kit?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 What were the compression numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 There is another guy here who was having similar problems, fouling and smoking on only one side. His problem were the reeds. Are you sure the reeds are fine, you said they're new, but could they have been damaged, or not installed properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee76179 Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I run msd ignition on mine...mine r gapped at 32 to 36 due for the msd.. I think stock should be around 40.. I was having trouble w/mine smoking... Do plug check and rejet ... when U figure it out watch out for the bottom end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoin39 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 .028 is recomended but I don't know what is the best. It would depend on the mods. Like jetting, it would be different for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp559 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Make sure you are using a good plug. I would only use NGK . If your using a cheap plug like autolite or what ever the parts store can cross referrence your likely to have problems. NGk are specificly designed to run in rice burners. By the way what color smoke is coming out. You could possibly have a head gasket leak making one side smoke more. You should be able to smell the difference when its running (might smell like coolant). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 One thing that my tech has mentioned before, is that he believes the left side can run more rich in some circumstances, don't know why. He has 36mm carbs and runs a 430 in the right and a 420 in the left. I don't know how this sounds, but if all else fails and everything is perfect and it still just seems rich or fouls, adjust the mains specifically to the cylinders.
