Don:
I cleaned my plugs yesterday and they had a nice black dusting of carbon. It was easy to brush off (soft metal wire brush). I checked my plug inspection visual guide and it indicated that the the fuel/air mix could be a little rich. These engines run cool and that is another factor, for sure. I adjusted the carb for running smoothness according to the MM overhaul manual when I last goofed around with the carb. Is the carbon dust fouling just an inevitable result of cool running or should I try leaning it out a bit more?
