Hi there i have a 06 aprilia atlantic 125cc maxi scooter which keeps fouling the spark plug i have adjusted the air to fuel mixture to 2 1/2 turns and its still fouling the bike stops sometimes so i have had to adjust the idle speed to keep it alive and i live in the country so often drive at full throttle most of the times would that have an affect on the plug as its sending more fuel by upping the idle speed?

if its the automatic choke thats stuck how could i free it so that it works abd would the bike run without it?

Also would abyobe have a conrod for a 1988 kawasaki gpx 250cc?

all help is very much appreciated

Brian

Hi Brian

1 1/2 turns sounds like you are adjusting the idle mixture.

Not sure what bike you have but I supect you have been adjusting the idle mixture and it will have little ot no affect on the colour of plugs when ridding the bike.

Not sure what the correct number of turns is;, i always use a colour tune to set my bikes up.
