Got brand new plugs yesterday made a pass off the bottle and these suckers are fat. Electrode solid white base jet black. WTf didnt even hit the bottle. car stumbled afterwards so i pulled them. Wish my digi didnt suck otherwise i would get a nice photo. What gives
Mods: Bottle Fed B16A 13.23@101.5 on I,H,E and a 50 shot
so the base of the elctrode is white and the tips black or what? what part is black and what part is white?
basically though, if the elctrode is white..you're too lean...if its black its on the rich side..if its wet and black you're running really rich..as far as whats causing that off the bottle..too many variables..you need to narrow it down for us.
