Default Spark plug reading

Anyone know if I'm running lean or not? Or it's normal.

Also got wideband installed afr at idle 13.9-14.9
Cruising 13-14s
WOT 13.0-13.4

x3 the greenish yellow tint comes from sulfur they use in fuel additives.

You want a solid, black fuel ring, which you have, your fueling is good, your timing mark looks good too, typically you want your timing mark, around the 90 degree bend..which yours is.. you can see the color change, from the front of the tip to the bottom, the darker grayish part is your timing mark.

How can you see the fuel ring from all the oil on the plug? Besides the plug would need cut apart to see the fuel ring at the base.

OP: You are running lean, hope you don't melt anything.
