Im at school now and dont have the pic to post, but i pulled the plug out of #1 cylinder (far right side of motor) and there is carbon around the end of the screw-in part, but on the tip, its pure white all the way down the curved part. Does this mean that I am running way lean? What can i do to fix it? Advance the timing or just leave it the same?

(I wil post a pic when i get home tonight)

if its a platinum plug itll burn white. dont advance the timing-itll only run leaner. is the lude running rough or sluggish?

sorry, not a good pic, the camera would not focus right

is this only on one plug? is it misfiring? if that plug looks different than the others, then you can narrow the issue down to that cylinder.

its not misfiring, i just usually pull one plug (that one being the easiest to get to, less wires in the way) and assume the others are the same....assmue all look like that
