I put about 75 hours on the new motor I got this year and did a spark plug change about 10 hours ago... thought I would see how they look and Im a little clueless on 4 of the 8 plugs i pulled. I didnt have time to pull the other 4. Before these where pulled I ran a few WOT's and cruised for about 3-4 miles.

Perfectly acceptable, but I would prefer a little more tan on the insulator as I prefer a slightly richer idle condition to keep things cool. ;)
To do so, turn each mixture screw out (CCW) 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

Thanks for the comments guys, I may just rich it up 1/4 turn and check again at the end of the season... still have about 4 weeks before I winterize her.

Hey chris..not trying to bust your bubble....but what kind of spark arrestor do you have on your motor?
