the spark plugs are black
Are you sure it's not oil? The 750 twins are notorious for valve seals failing which will let oil run onto the plugs. Guess how I learned that......
For carbs, first thing I would do the following before trying to tweak jets:
1) Take the tank off and drain it. Rinse clean with mineral spirits.
2) Clean the petcock.
3) Install new fuel filters.
4) Check carb fuel levels with clear tube.
Is it running worse after the cleaning? It sounds like the carbs may still be gunked up. Could be problem with pilot system.Hello everyone I just purchased a 1982 zx750 csr twin and it was running a little rough so i decided to clean out the carbs. After that the bike would start but quickly stall out with a backfire
