Hmmm!
« on: June 07, 2013, 09:39:00 PM »
Pulled plugs yesterday after oil change and found this. I'm no expert but this can't be good. I recently swapped out carbs, and put the boat in the water once for a couple laps. Plugs shouldn't look like that after a couple of laps should they? Grant it, I did not pull the plugs to see what they looked like before carb change, guess I kinda have to take that into consideration. I'm kinda confused now to see if I need to change the jets or not. Boat ran fine (well... ok) with old plugs. Hope to be on the water to do a plug read to find out which way I need to go.

x2 but you might want to take a look/reduce your jets and/or adjust air/fuel for your set up.

Thanks for the link, it'll help out quite a bit! There are new plugs in the boat, and changed the primary jet. Gonna throw in fresh fuel, and fuel treatment to see if that'll clear up a lot of carbon deposit.
