    f200 running rich in one piston

    I went to winterize my 2005 f200 and i noticed the top right plug was a dark tan with carbon deposits on it .. the rest of the plugs looked fine.. the motor has 82 hours on it and runs perfect no problems so far. I was just wondering if this is normal or the begining of something serous to come.
