Plug Chop/ what does this color mean

[Khalil Brooks]

It’s basically in the title. I don’t have a nice golden color and I’m curious about if I should richen my mixture.

 

[Larry Trotter]

I would say it's leaner or has less oil in the mixture than I would run in mine.

 

[Khalil Brooks]

I’m running 32:1 and the c clip is on the top most notch. Would a richer mixture change torque or power output at all?

 

[Khalil Brooks]

For my ride today I’ll move it one notch down and see what happens

You will have to experiment to find out about power but the top notch is pretty lean.

Did it run?

It ran well, I’m actually about to check the spark plug....pics in a sec

I haven’t cleaned the spark plug since changing the needle and put maybe 6 miles on it. I do notice it’s a bit louder but today was windy so I couldn’t really tell much else

Clean the plug, ride it for a while with your richer setting and then have a look at the plug.
That looks o.k. You don't want a white or very light grey.

I used to have a signature on my profile.....
"If it ain't broke, and you mess with it long enough, it will be."

There is a much less PC version that I can't post here that my grandfather used to say.....
