[quote=hogrida;1284008]It's a difficult thing to read plugs with the fuels today. With the ethanol and oxygenated fuels not to mention the additives in modern fuels, you will usually get a white tip on the insulator of a plug regardless of the mixture unless it is overly rich. Colors are usually from the additives in the fuel now since the tetraethyl lead has been removed.

This makes sense. I'm currently using map 1719 and V&H tells that this is a very rich map. However, when I check the plugs I do see the white tip leading me to believe it is not as rich as V&H tells me.

My scoot is running so good, I just decided to not let it bother me. I am confident everything is installed properly.
