I have a 2003 VAlkyrie. I was on my way home from a 150 mile trip. As i got near home my bike started running real rough. I changed the spark plugs but no change. I could still smell raw gas. I check for spark and all cylinders had spark. I pulled all plugs again and # 6 was already fouled with black but not oily. Does anyone know what this could mean? i would appreciate any input. Thanks

Sounds like a petcock problem,#6 supplies vacuum to turn on the flow.pull the small hose off the petcock and see if it drips.

Make sure the choke is all the way off, or you got bad gas.

Look for the simple stuff first.  Bad gas, then some fuel delivery issue.  Betting it's not electrical.
