The new o rings are in the mail , still waiting on them . Before I gave up on trying to make these stop leaking with the old o rings I put in the washers and the problem was all but gone , but the plugs were all getting pretty dark . Then I noticed how loose my petcock vacuum hose was and realized that plug #2 was pretty white , so that may have been the problem the entire time . Once the new gaskets get here and I have a chance to colortune it with the new vacuum hose on we'll see . I may not even need the washers after all . One cylinder sucking air can definitely cause some of the issues I was having . But until the parts show up I'm just sitting here wishing my bike worked .

not yet , I got distracted with the whole carb thing , that's probably going to be a project for tomorrow . I'll check my plugs in a day or two to make sure but everything feels good . The color tune is a little tricky since I had to use the adapter for these small plugs that honda always uses . Using the adapter messes with the color a little so the blue never really comes in as strong as it does when you use just the plug with no adapter . But I think it's about as close as it's getting and my 5k lean spot is gone .
