I have a Cannibal and I can ride it for a few days and then the spark plug is fouled. It sounds like it idles very high and I was thinking that maybe it is trying to run to much gas through when I'm starting. What are your thoughts?

 

Hey Yo,
I have yet to foul a plug on my cannibal. You can easily adjust the idle with the thumb screw near the throtttle body. Are you lettting it idle for extended periods? My 'dale mechanic suggested that letting her sit at idle for long time would foul the plug. Said to bump the throttle every minute or so while idling to keep more air moving through.
FWIW

 

Yeah that might be the problem. I've heard that you should let it idle for a while first to let it warm up though. Maybe I misread that but thats how I understood it. Also, shouldn't the idle be set to 2100 - 2200 r/min? If I were to do this by myself would it void my warranty? Speaking of warranty, would an aftermarket pipe void my warranty? Sorry for askin so many questions.

 

I have to feather the throttle for the first 30 seconds to keep it running. Then I let it idle for maybe a minute and take off slowly for the next couple minutes. I rarely let it idle for more than a minute. Adjusting your idle will not void your warranty, set it where it sounds right and adjust it as necessary. A pipe, I don't know. Warranty will be up soon enough anyway.

 

Alright, thanks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
