Hi. I have a my sportster 883 with the Super E carb, been having problems off and on.
At the beginning of this season, I installed a new coil, removed the cheap ass baffles from my drag pipes, and installed a K&N air filter. I set the carb using the S&S instructions, except that I set the accelerator a bit lower. I
The bike had been running BETTER than I have ever known it to run in the 4 years that I have owned it. I have put maybe a 100 miles on it so far this spring. I last rode the bike 2 days ago, and it ran awesome still.
Today on my lunch break, I decided to go home and get my bike. I pulled it out of the garage (after arguing with my girlfriend, i kow, you guys don't give that kind of advice here). When I started it, I pulled the enrichener all the way up, which I never do. I usually pull it up maybe 1/4 the way, if at all, give it a few squirts, and run it for a couple minutes with the throttle before I take off.
I started heading down the street, and it was popping and bucking a bit. This happened a couple years ago, and the plugs were fouled. I turned around and brought it home. I was too aggravated and pressed
Is it possible that running the bike for a few minutes with the enrichener open would foul plugs that quickly?
Hopefully it's something simple. Thanks.
