So I took the petcock apart, cleaned it a little, and put it back together. Bike fired up and ran good for about 2 minutes. Made it around the neighborhood before it started sputtering and losing all power and acting lean. I got it home, pulled the plugs, and this is what I found. I’m going to replace the plugs, but why the hell did this happen. There’s oil in the bike, and those we’re brand new spark plugs just 4 days ago and I ran the bike 17 miles.

Update. Replaced plugs with old ones, runs better than before I drove it earlier and had it break down. I just drove it, feels much more responsive, but something must be wrong in order to make the plugs look like that in the first place. Any ideas anyone? Pic is of new plugs after 1 mile. Just rode it and pulled them 10 minutes ago
