Ok, my friend has an 87 honda vf 500 that we've been trying to get running... currently this is what happens: It starts up fine, and idles nicely for about 10 minutes. Then the exhaust starts to pump out white smoke, and the idle jumps up a couple grand. The smoke gets worse, the bike backfires a couple times, the idle starts to drop, and the bike dies, and won't start again (I thikn it won't start again because the plugs get fouled). Any ideas? I was thinking it might be running ritch or something, eventually fouling the plugs and killing the engine? But why would it take so long? and what about the idle revving up? help? Thanks.
