Re: Fouling 304

Tom,

You mentioned that it is leaving carbon patches on the ground when it 
idles. When mine did that I looked in the top of the carb.  The top of 
the carb should be dry, all the gas comes in the idle passage at the 
bottom. Mine was dripping gas from the main jet which is the pipe coming 
in the center of the throat at the top.

I'd be gas is just running out the bottom of the carb.  Fouling the plugs 
on the highway means the gas must be really running in there.  Your 
problem is somewhere in the carb.  I'd be the reason only two plugs are 
fouling is cause liquid gas is running through the manifold and running 
right into the two offending cylinders.
