Here is a link that shows the correct plug with a cross reference to other brands.

Hey Ed he got the bike to run with a carb from a different bike so that might explain the richness. Plus he's been playing with needle settings, etc so there's no telling where he's at right now.

It was running better but it still wasn't right if I read correctly. He may have multiple issues.

True, I was just saying that I wouldn't put too much stock in the fact that it's rich considering all the swaps and monkeying around that he's already done. I know this isn't a guarantee but I'd hope that the place that sold him the plug made sure it was the right one...

Yea, it was running, but not running great, so I could indeed have more than one issue.

I think I'll go ahead and do the points and condensor once I get a flywheel puller so I can at least elminate those things. Man, I've learned more about engines in the last 3 days than all my years combined, lol.

I've got the needle on the stock setting for the ORIGINAL carb...but I'm not sure about the alternate carb so I just dropped the needle one notch to lean it out a bit...I'll see how that works.

It would be much easier to check the valves if I had the first clue what I was doing, lol.

"Check the clearance by inserting a flat feeler gauge between the rocker arm pad and camshaft lobe"

Great, WTF is that. Off to google I go

Sounds like one of your valves may be mucked up.. Check your compression too.

I've been out there kicking that thing all day, got it to run for 5 seconds once but that was the best.

I did take the valve covers off and looked at the top of the valves. They were very clean looking, no carbon buildup...looked brand new actually.

I need to get a feeler gauge and a flywheel puller before I proceed any further.

Work through one thing at a time. If you skip around to different things it makes it hard to keep everything straight.
