I pulled the plugs and they look a nice brown but when I look down into the plug whole directly into the whole the piston just below the plug is clean then I can see the deposit around the area of the plug.
I hope my explaination makes sense.
I have Aaen tripple with 50 pilots, needles in 3 and 147.5 mains with middle layer of head gasket removed. This is a 2000 SXR 700.
SHould I remove the head to look closer at the wash even though the plus look ok. Why is the piston nice and clean directly under the plug.
Thanks in advance for the input.

I was running about 40 to 60 mph and blipping the throttle for about 1/2 hr and shut her down to check plugs which seem to be a nice brown but am wondering about the wash.

Hmmm....i've never seen that before...needles in 3 should be pretty fat
you'd think.....
Mabie go up on the mains alittle...

blipping the throttle without a long wot run will cause that sort of wash (rich).

HELP!!!!
the machine was running really good and strong when I decided to change the needle to one setting richer. The machine was too rich at that point and was not running very good. I put the needles back to 3 and it still does not run very good. The throttle does not seem very snappy and even sounds as if it is not running right.
I just cleaned the carbs but no change. Could the plugs has fouled a little when I moved the needles richer.
I am in a Yamafest run on Saturday and need to fix this.
Thanks for the replies.

Don't go down to 2 on those needles or you will be seeing how much pistons cost. 2.5 if everything looks good, but i know i wouldn't be running 2 flat. Do a WOT run also and check plugs and wash. A clean piston indicates rich condition.

I think a whole clip is a huge adjustment - that's why they put washers in there. A jet needle staying in the orifice too long will do as much damage than will a main jet that's too small.
