Which appearance does a correctly running plug show?

  • A.A light tan or grey deposit on the insulator nose
  • B.A black sooty deposit, which indicates that the mixture is correct and the plug is operating at its designed temperature
  • C.A white blistered appearance
  • D.A wet oily film, which indicates that the plug is being lubricated correctly by the oil within the combustion chamber

Answer: A

Light tan or grey indicates correct mixture, temperature and heat range. Black soot means rich running or a cold plug, and white blistering means overheating. Reading plugs remains a useful diagnostic skill. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb.
