Sooty spark plugs

[8ob]

I had forgotten how much I hate carburettors !

Once described to me as nothing more than an organised fuel leak.

Got my old man’s one in the toolbox. I think it came with a bottle of something that’s now empty.

Got an angled mirror on the top.

I’ve never used it. Now you’ve mentioned it I may dig it out for ****s and giggles to see how it looks.

Re the Colourtune, the stuff in the bottle was a cleaning fluid; they tend to get sooted up fairly quickly. You need to be in a space where the light is not very strong in order to see the flame.

Has it always had sooty plugs or has it just started doing this recently? Where did the Weber come from, is it original fitment or aftermarket addition?

Fairly recently had weber on it 7 years

Could also be a dribbling needle valve in the float chamber, sinking (unlikely) or wrong float height.
