Title: black spark plug?
Post by: rpkknives on October 21, 2011, 10:28:18 PM
the spark plug on the left cylinder has a wet black film all around the gap. is this just because there was gas leaking in with my oil or is there another problem?

Black indicated too rich mixture...wet indicates too much oil intot he cyclinder.....

If gas was leaking into the oil, then just a but anything could happen...

If you solved the gas into the oil problem...then run a while and check plugs again...

If you're still getting gas into the oil, all bets are off....
