Hi Guys
I need a bit of help/advice. My nc29 keeps on flooding, all-the-time. This all started a few weeks ago. So I pulled the plugs and they were black and wet. I dried them and after an hour or 2 I dropped them back in and tried again. Well I got it going after a few minutes but the next morning the same thing happened. I also opened the carbs and noticed it was using 122 main jets

. Can that be the problem or do I need new plugs?
Thanks

Does the bike have any mods?
Have you checked your float heights and the condition they are in?

Just an aftermarket slip-on but that's it.

Yes, I did solve the prob by changing the huge 122 jets too smaller 112 jets. Starts easily now. Thank goodness
Cheers guys

I'm pretty sure they were cbr900 jets. I think the bike was used for racing before I bought it. Luckily for me the engine is in good condition.
cheers
