plugs, rich and lean

[Hondapower]

I was running br9es plugs in my R with amsoil 32:1 ratio. It was fouling plugs just about everytime I rode it. The plug was black and covered in oil. So I switched to a br8es. I think its running too lean now because when I get in 3rd sometiumes it cuts out when I punch it. I am going to switch to a racing oil, maxima. I think ill try 32:1 with that and the br9es. Any ideas?

What color is the 8 coming out? I run my bikes at 40:1 with Bel-Ray H1R and AV gas. My plugs are a nice light brown enough to still see the white. Your sputter might be jetting or turn out the air screw a 1/4 to 1/2 turn and see if it's still there.

its a dark brown color but not a lot of it. its not dry or white at all. Its snappier with the 8 and doesnt foul plugs. I think I was just getting low on gas when it was dieing out in 3rd a little. toady I rode to the store and on the way back it started running out of gas, I barely sputtered home. It actually only had to be put on reserve. Im gonna try this Maxima super M racing oil at 32:1 instead of the ams interceptor.

yeah maxima super m is what i run all day...try 44:1 with 91 oct.

I ONLY use Maxima 927 Castor or Super M.... I would switch to a BR8EG/V/VX or just a standard B8ES, you really shouldnt be fouling plugs. Brownish tan is the color you want to see. White/Grey is Lean, and Black or Black and wet is rich. You could also have crank seals leaking, which would cause a lean condition, but you would see that on the plug as well.

I run amsoil dominator at 50:1 in my r w/ br9eg plug & 210psi. No problems whatsoever.

yea and I was running amsoil interceptor at 32:1, a lot richer than you are. Im gonna tr 32:1 with the super m.
