New cv carb setup jetting
Here are some picts of the spark plugs. Does it look to you folks that I might have a front cylinder intake leak? Two picts are of the front plug (different angles) , 1 picts of the back plug. Back plug looks a little rich, front looks a little lean. What do you think?

Maybe a little, but it's hard to see. In any case, it doesn't look terrible, even if it is.
The rear, on the other hand really does look bad. Either crazy rich or burnt on oil.
Have you compression tested the motor?
How many turns on the idle jet screw? Stock needle?

Everything was fine until I swapped from butterfly to cv carb. I purchased an older intake and I think it is too short and I have a leak in the front cylinder. The back plug is not oil fouled it is rich. It looks like I might need to go a size smaller idle jet and main jet, and get the front leak fixed.

Are you using the stock air cleaner? I read somewhere that the front cylinder normally runs leaner than the rear one, and you jet the carb off the condition of the front plug, although your rear plug does look too rich. How does the bike run?

The only time I have see a plug as clean as your front if it truly has the miles on it as the back one is either your rocker or pushrod on the intake valve is completely broken and the valve is not opening or you have not turned on the water injection on the back one. That is what a Z28 looked like that I overhauled a long while back....Go easy on the water, it's rough on starter housings...
Both my sets have 10K but my bike is FI I truly think you are maybe a tad lean but the back cylinder has a mechanical issue like a bad valve seal probably if compression matches front. Be sure to check with a good battery with the carb held Wide Open with the throttle.
