After riding for about 45 minutes today, the stock 701 61x would start then die. It did it repeatedly and my wife towed me in.
I immediately thought fuel starvation and will likely take the carburetor apart and check the fuel screen in the Mikuni SBN44.
But when I was checking the engine out on the beach, I noticed carbon on the spark plug terminal studs.
Has anybody seen this before? What causes it? Should I be concerned?
BTW, these photos were taken after I used my fingers to clean off the carbon. I then road only for a minute or so, and the carbon came back quickly.
