Bike was running fine and then became hard to start, i checked the spark plug and noticed it was wet and oily. put a new plug in and it fired rite up. after a day or two it started doing it again... wet plug, wont start? any ideas????:-||
 
What is the oil/fuel ratio you running? Sounds like you are fouling spark plugs. You may also need to move the needle clip and lean the motor a bit.
 
YEAH i JUST LOGGED ON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE FOR THE SAME REASON! WE JUST HAD A TROPICAL STORM WITH TONS OF MOISTURE AND i'M NOT SURE i ADDED AN "STABILE" LAST TIME SO I WAS WONDERING COULD IT BE MOISTURE IN THE GAS?
 
Several things that can cause fouled plugs is running too rich, running a rich oil fuel mixture. Too cold of a spark Plug, bad plug wire and even a weak magneto.
 
Before you go messing with your needle , what are you mixing your gas at ? How much oil per gallon of gas ? It should be 4oz of oil to 1 gallon of gas which is 32:1.
