It must have been a relief not to get any newbie questions from me for a  
while!
 
Anyway, I used to have a fouling problem in the front 3 plugs.  I was  able 
to check the floats (OK), set the idle, balance the carbs, and finally  correct 
the condition by using the tool to adjust the mixture on the front  carb.
 
I have noticed that the level of dashpot oil in the front carb keeps  
falling, and that I need to add it about once a week or so.  The level in  the 
rear 
carb never seems to drop.  I don't see anything in the carb manual  about this 
problem.  I don't mind topping it up, but the difference between  the carbs 
indicates a problem to me.  Suggestions?  Could my fouling  problem be related 
to this in any way?
 
Thanks!
