I would put new plugs in after I find out y it's running rich. I live in a small town a no one has shit for this bike.

That was the first thing I looked at today. An it's not. The bikes got twelve thousand miles on it so may need a carb kit.

If plugs are dirty and you start to lose spark then you will have unburned fuel making a rich condition.

The man I got the bike from just put new plug in it 2 months befor I got the bike. An I don't want to ride it because it will wash the oil off the cylinders walls.

If it's running rich you are getting too much gas/not enough air.
1- Air cleaner is dirty or clogged/collapsed
2- Float is not set right or carb not adjusted right.
3- Enricher is stuck closed
4- You live in Cali where everything is rich.....
