I think I found this link on LSF. Should be helpful to other gasser newbies. (I'm one and it helped me.)

Also some of the best engine advice I can give is this. If you have a problem you cant find an answer too, ask the guys on HBF. I can gauruntee they will steer ya in the right direction.

just be careful this chart is for gas engines not 2 stroke engines

Sorry racetruck but I have to disagree, if you look at the plugs that were exposed to high amounts of heat, it shows that it was caused by lean running conditions. Correct me if im wrong but the difference shown between lean and rich plugs on that chart prove it to be for two stroke engines.

if you read the chart it talks about water cooled engines i have worked on weedeaters and many hot rods for years and the don't look like most of those plugs in the chart the one plug that is oil fouled that is for a gas engine

Ahhh yes, I see it now number 3 and 4 give it away. #3) Oil pumping past worn piston rings and valve guides. #4) Improper functioning cooling system resulting in excessive cooling, (Which we know wouldnt happen with an all air cooled engine). My bad racetruck!

not a problem i just wanted everybody not to go completely by that chart because it will mislead you abit. it will help the guys that don't have any idea what a plug should look like.
