    Hey I was at the shop today to pick up my pipes so I can get them cleaned up and get the baffles if. I took a look at the plugs and they were a weird rust color. :wtf: Now I was running 100 low lead fuel in it with some octane boost. Could this be why they looked like this? I will post a pic soon, forgot to grab the plugs for a picture.

    with todays gas it is very hard to read plugs..........additives of different types, different amounts of corn, ect........if they are sooty, overfueling.....if oily, ring or valve guide problem.......other than that i wouldnt worry about color so much.....i would be more interested in the burn on the electrodes..................
