Running way lean. My smogged 79 had pure white plugs. I raised my needles 2 notches and it became another bike. Much better. In conversations with XSJohn I will drop the needle to the middle position and up my mains 1 size. Theory is I will get the richer running motor and also a bit of gas mileage by doing so.

The black water is just condensation which is normal. When the bike heats up it will clear out. There is a small drain hole in the factory pipe to drain this condensation so you don't rot out the pipes.

Could nusre out the mix screws a bit too to help fill the bottom and give the plugs some color "if needed"......we are on the mix screws a lot more than people think and they feed continuoiusly all the way to WOT...............xsjohn
