I know nothing about carburetors. One of my Pilots is starting to foul plugs and not run so good. I noticed one of the hoses coming off the bottom of the carburetor was wet from gas. I have no idea what the jetting is either. The plug is silver in color when I remove it. It is not black at all. I am running 92 octane with castor 927 at 40:1. My other Pilot which I know is bone stock runs great with this combination. I have no idea what the jetting or anything is on this one as I bought from a guy who took it in trade and has no idea what's been done. It has 148 lbs of compression. This Pilot has never been as fast as my bone stock one.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks!
Holy crap that don't sound good to me. DON'T even start it again until you look at a few things first.
It could be many things. You say the plug is "silver"
that sounds like a very lean condition.
Here is my list of things I would check:
1) check your intake manifold for any cracks
2) check the jetting in your other pilot and copy it
3) check your float level
4) do a flow test on your fuel pump
5) if it passes all these then I would do a pressure and vacuum test
