I had a siilar problem when rebuilding my carb. plugs fouled within a short distance of riding. Too rich!! They really need to be cleaned very well before putting back in. When you rebuilt your carb did you put main needle clip in the same notch? If you did like I did it will be wrong unless your jets were the same size. The keyster kit had a larger jet and after I figured out what was wrong I moved the clip on the needle up one notch to allow less fuel. Problem solved! My bike would miss and not accelerate correctly due to this and even ran on one cylinder when it fouled.Check spark with new plugs or check with a plug from a mowere and you will see the spark difference. Your plugs should look like like a light cocoa tan when running right. Mine were wet and black. Now they look correct.
