sredish Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I read the strap and the tip of the insulator. Personally, I want the insulator a light/med. brown color, and the strap black. If the insulator gets much darker or if the strap and electrode start getting wet, I'll back off. I do look at the color on the outside ring also. But it depends on the situation to look at what area. If your concerned with the timing then inspect the insulator a little closer. It's all about knowing how to read the plug and where to look for what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezehead Posted April 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 There's alot of color on that plug.I do a chop with a brand new plug and look for the smoke ring at the bottom of the ceramic insulator.(2mm-4mm)My plugs look near to this one after some hours on it.It's a tad darker than mine... ya it's gotta go down one or 2 sizes I think this was a new plug but was after a 5 or so mile run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
