Re: Engine Starves for Fuel When I Hit Second Gear

As rich as my carb was running, nothing was going to prevent the plugs from fouling out. I ended up screwing the secondary screws all the way in and the primary screws are turned out only a 1/4 turn. The engine does die when I turn the primary screws all the way in so I figured there wasn't a problem with the power valve but it was incredibly rich to start with. I can at least stand to be in the garage with the door down without smothering in less than half a minute. It's fairly clean now for a Road Demon with such a relatively large cam profile and it burns clean enough it won't foul out again.
