I have all the tell tale signs of an oil heavy mix on my Mk1 T5, I got blue exhaust and a new spark plug fouling, wet and turning black within a week. Anyone know the best way to adjust the mix? I'm guessing that I can reduce the amount of oil entering but I just don't know where on the bike. Any help or tip much appreciated, Tim.
