They are not perfect. They look like they are not "self-cleaning" as spark plugs should. Either you are not running hot enough (thermostat) or you simply have too much fuel in chamber.

Yes, clean the plugs off, lower the pressure and check the plugs again after a couple hundred miles.

Just wipe them down with a clean cloth or paper towel. No, detonation would not occur with a rich condition---there is no sign.

yea, little bit too much carbon for my taste, but there fine. could be runnin rich, possibly a lower than expected heat range. But there okay. feel free to sea-foam the motor, and yea, you can clean off the plugs with a brush and some kerosene if ya want.

47psi on a all motor? prolly bolt ons.. and this guy wants to know how clean his plugs are? hahaha

even if your were running 13.5 A/F WOT, you still wouldn't be able to tell a differance in performance on a bolt on car.
