Hi Rich,

So these plugs are 250 hrs. old? The gap if too wide will make these run too cold and have poor performance causing this blackened plug. Old plugs are the same. if you have one of the old plugs check the gap. As a plug wears from running the engine the gap will increase over time.
We get NKG plugs here from any where from $2.00 - $3.25 each. All the people I know toss then between 75-100 hrs.

p.s
I can tell from looking at your plug pictures again that the gap is way too wide.

You may not have anything wrong with your plugs other than old age.

Roger,

The original plugs were changed at approx 100 hrs.
The new plugs have approx 75 hours on them. TT on engine is approx 175 hrs.

I need to check the hobbs in the Tru Trac unit when I go to the airport.

Hi Rich,

Sorry I missed the 75 hr. part.
Where did the 250 hr. maint. come from?

Roger,

The 250 hours came from the original post from Ricardo Koyner.
