FLoat Stuck?

[Jay_wolf]

Runs fine , no backfires , no anything , just have a feeling its running rich

its not had a single engine fault. just it smells really stong of petrol , not from the engine or carbs ,
just the exhaust

Check your plugs to be sure if it's rich

[Jay_wolf]

They Was Dark , oh , errm i neva have to use choke . even on cold rainy days , starts on the button , and idles smooth as you like

Odd i no lol

Have you rejetted your carbs for that Nexxus exhaust yet?
Your 96 comes stock with 115 main jet which isn't that good to begin with

Unlike most of you who bought new , i didnt ,and i think its been rejetted before hand , as the bloke in the mot shop said it runs fine , and the cover for the air mixture screw is already off , and it was quicker stock then my mates Gs , we went together in a straight line , and mine pulled quicker., and went faster , even tho hes been riding alot longer ,

Its not running lean , as the plugs arnt white or anything , there darker

Hmm , ill wack on the Lunchbox and see what happens .  i think its running rich

[Jay_wolf]

Well if the Mix is Rong eg , To much petrol , not enuff air , then i wack on a ton of air , then mess around with the mixutre screw , as looks like it may have been rejetted already , i mean , its got really good proformance , pulls hard in the low and stuff

White plugs are a sign of running lean, not rich.  Black plugs are a sign of running rich.  Tan plugs indicate an optimum mixture.

I must have been posting tired or something.  I saw it the other way around last night.  But seriously, half of the time, I don't know what you're saying.

[Jay_wolf]

I get confused myself lol

Basicly , my plugs are dark in colour , and it smells of petrol really strong , so i do think its running rich , if i put more air into the system thro a airfilter , should balance it out , Thanks

And sorrry for being confusing
