1988 Volkswagen Passat 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

actually I have a motorcycle brand kawasaki and here in Iraq we dont have the proper spare parts the motocycle's carbs was so bad and has many damages so I convert the carb mount and put a VW Passat 1600cc also I changed the ignition coil the problem is the moto dies after getting warm and the spark plugs points are so black is it because of the weak spark or the carb, the spark is not too blue seems red

many thanks

Hi there, well I will give you an "A" for initiative thinking on this one, but you main problem is that the engine is over carburetted now, there is no way that the engine can burn the fuel that this carby will delver, you need smaller main jets, or a carby off something like a Suzuki mighty boy, that is if you can fit it up and make it work, as the angle of the fuel bowl will also be a big factor.
