| | | Spark Plug
hi this is the colour of the spark plug. does it mean the engine is running too lean or rich?
do i play with the air/fuel screw to lean it out or rich it up abit?
Thanks

second pic looks lean, but youll need better pics before you start playing with it,
cause first pic kinda looks normal,
but if your gonna start messing with mixtures and need advice, get some clearer pics,
plus did you do the plug chop correctly?

mostly in backyard for a few days but did take it out for a bit of a thrashing.
i thought the spark plug was the problem for the engine on take off sometimes, bottoming out, it like loses power but then kicks back in.
is this a tuning problem?

the reason no one is touching this subject is its pretty obvious you outta your league here,
and trying to teach someone over a forum how to deal with mixtures is 1) a nightmare 2) gonna end is disaster for you 3) very time consuming writing it all out,
1) first up you didnt know what "plug chop" was (thats the first thing you need before making any changes to mixtures
2) you post a plug thats black, but than talk about your plug being white!
3) you think your 4 stroke should be blowing smoke,
dont think iam being mean here, iam just letting you know why no one is touching this thread, you best bet would be maybe try and find someone local who can show you what to do,
cause iam all for learning it yourself, but trying to teach and learn here is gonna get you in a big mess lol |
