my 82 big red has been running perfect for tank after tank of high octane ethanol free gas with carb cleaner, and that mystery oil stuff.

running for weeks.

yesterday it just went coconuts.

1. checked spark plug, was all gummy
2. checked fuel filter,
3. checked carb drain

it coughed a few times till the battery died.
then I eventually put in a brand new spark plug.

What is this telling me that the carb is not tuned well?

I guarantee after today the plug will get black but run for a month or longer.

sometimes I have to soak the plug and clean it and allow the piston to dry.

go figure

I did notice this all started when I forgot to pull the choke and the thing died then I might have flooded it?
