The springs are 2 years old, installed the winter before last, 245 seat 650 open, They are Comp springs for the cam , I have had the carb off several times this year for jetting & fuel issues, I think I pull the carb @ least once a month on ave & never saw the dark staining before, Is it possible that I could have overloaded the engine? I tried some very large tires last month and lost over 1000 rpm trap with poor shift recovery, max RPM went down to 6k and had some popping, could not tell if it was intake or exhaust, engine just sounded bad.




JMO.. but if you have reversion in the intake thats
from a/or all intake valves being open at the wrong
time... on some engines 2 years is a long time for
valve springs... when did you test them last... I
test mine 3 to 4 times a season OR if something is
changing in performance
