How does my spark plug look?
Ok, I need the Baja engine experts help on this. This is my new 5T's spark pug that has had about 2 tanks of fuel using the HPI break in oil at 25:1 ratio with 93 octane non ethanol added gasoline. Today I ran the engine on around a dozen high speed runs at stock needle settings with all bearings and gearing stock outa the box as well.
The pictures were taken after the engine was cooled down completely. What and if do I need to change on my needles? Thanks much, I wanna make sure i'm tuned right so I maximize my engine life
