Default Sparkplugs black and white

Does anyone have a chart they can post that shows different sparkplug problems. mine are blackened around the base and the tip above the electrode is white/silver

Sounds like it's running lean. They will always be black at hte base, it's the tip you are concerned with. I can post a pic of the plug chart later tonight.

If you have too much ignition advance it can cause this.
