<VV> power enrichment?

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Hey guys,
I don't know how deep Ray has been into diagnosing the "black plug"  
situation, but I would check the choke settings AND the choke pull off, and  
maybe, just maybe, swap out a "known good" coil, because all those can lead to  
"black plug syndrome"... 
Ray, you will want to see what size jet you have in  the current carb in 
order to purchase the next size or so down. The number is  clearly stamped on 
the top of the jet (as long as some ham-fisted clown didn't  bugger it 
up)... I've seen 48, 49, & 50 in the ones I've torn down, and have  typically 
tried to keep them all near 50 for my use (daily driving, year 'round  'cept 
when the snow flies)... I've never really had a problem. If you find a 48  in 
the offending carb, I doubt the jet is your culprit... if you find a 55,  
well, you may be onto something.
Good luck!
Lonzo... home, "resting" and recovering from "acute respiratory  
inflamation", whatever the hell that is.

There's  no factory adjustment for the enrichment, the jet is pressed into 
the  carb.  However, if you're getting black plugs you probably need to step 
 the jets down a little.  You can also play with the effective mixture  
with the float height, but be aware that this may also affect how the carbs  
work (or not) in corners.
