munters Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Hello Could you give me your thoughts about the Spark plugs? Thiis is after 600Miles of driving (I never checked so soon / have no reference.) I know the coulour plugs should have, but what I have in mind is quite equal all around. What could couse this difference around the electrode? Thanks for your input Marcel Edited July 28, 2017 by munters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Tell us a bit more about the engine. Carbed or injected? Stock cam shaft or one with bigger overlap? Need to know info on Ignition system, coil and spark plug wires. ( Spiral core or carbon core. Brand as well. ). Basically the plugs look a little " fluffy " and rich. But the reason why could be in your engine specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Is it a new engine? You might just be burning some oil, and the rings are not seated equally between all cylinders. I think he's talking about the fact that one looks lean, two look rich, and three look close to right. The heat range looks pretty good by the electrodes but they're covered with deposits of incomplete combustion, like if oil was being burned.

seattlejester Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Are they laid out in order? I would kind of expect pairings if you are running triple webbers. Have the carbs been balanced? There does seem to be a little bit of oil residue, but the plugs don't look wet or saturated with them. Any smoking out the exhaust? If it is a fresh rebuild it might take a while before the rings seat completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Keep the plugs in order and do a compression check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munters Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thanks for your opinions The Engune has now 5000 miles. No smoke and it does not need any oil since 3000miles (last change) The carbs are within 0.5 synched with the sk tool I do have a strange behavier. Idle is at 10:1 afr and transition is at 12.5. If i change the idle to 13:1, the transition is to lean.(16:1) One carb shoots then back sometines. I have to play more with keith franks airleaks.
