Running Rich & Lean???
So I replaced my plugs to day and my leading plugs were black and gummy. My trailing plugs were tan/white. Is this a timing problem?
I did run sea foam in the carb but doubt this would account for this. how should I fix this.
thanks,

I would say make sure your leading wires are really going towards the leading plugs. That looks *** backwards. Trailing is usually a little darker than leading but not buy that much. ah to hell you dont need trailing

Ok I feel like an idiot. The trailing is the oily one and the leading is the tan one. The wires were/are one the right plugs. But my problem still remains.
There is a large discrepancy between the leading and trailing plugs. what is my correct course of action?

What's your usual driving mix (city/highway/insane?)
One step hotter on the trailings might help keep them cleaner, if you do a lot of stop & go.
You might want to clean out the trailing plug wells before reinstalling, too. The tiny firing port might be pretty gummed up.
