Needle

[JMiller]

I found my needle in my carb to be bent, it seems to slide up/down the main jet ok. I'm having a prblem with my trike fouling plugs, Could this be the problem?

[short4stuff]

that probably has something to do with it

[J.D.]

I don't think a bent needle is going to do that. It seems to me that your problem with fouling plugs has to do with either Carburetion or Elecrical problems. Good luck dude.

It's a good possibility. Think about it. If the needle jet is bent that means it's most likely lifting a little higher at each clip setting, the higher the needle raises the more fuel it discharges which means that its getting more fuel at each clip setting and that could cause it to run alittle rich. Not saying thats it for sure but it's worth investigating.
