I pulled my plugs today for routine inspection. I found some deposits on them that I'm not used to seeing. I'm running more Mogas these days so I was wondering if this could account for the difference. I'm attaching some pictures.

Luis, They look glazed. I would just replace them and monitor them. Have you been running it hard ?

What's running it hard?

I don't think anybody runs a 912 harder than me and my plugs don't look like that.

Another thing that I hadn't noticed before about my plugs is that the #4 cylinder (right rear) looked fine. It was a light tan instead of brown and had much few deposits. If I had to guess, I'd say that the #4 cylinder was running a bit leaner than the others. Is this normal?

Talk to me next week after I get my carbs synced. Goldsboro is East of RDU Near I-95. It sounds like you need that.  Steve
