slugworth1987 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 ok all heres the situationi took my plugs out of my bike today (Zephyr 550) and its running super leanthe plugs are like rust colour and where only changed 2000 miles ago if that, so what do i do how do i adjest and balance the carbs with no skills in the carb system, also this problem of no money or tooling to check the vacume or seethrough plug to check combustion colour.ill post a photo up when i can of the plugs the worse plug is 4 and the others almost the same colours Quote
Stu Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 carbs arent easy mate without the right tools and the know how its not as simple as changing the jets there is also the needles to think about and the needle height i know of someone selling some vac gauges if your interested i will ask him how much if you like balancing the carbs will have no effect on the fueling issue though Quote
