125-200cc spark plug color

Can't seem to find those spark plug pics for color reference on proper tuning. Trying to dial in the lectron. Am I lean? Just a few spins around the neighborhood in this plug.

Marshwater,,that plug looks to be way lean,,im pretty sure it needs to be a medium to dark brown or somewhere in that area..

Yes it is lean, tan-chocolate colour is what your aiming for

richened up to 1/4 turn out. Spewing spooge out the silencer (even the rivits) and connection with pipe. Only a slight color change. Any chance I got the wrong size rod, running wrong oil, and or radio? Rod = 3-1 XL ; oil = castor927 ; radio = 40:1 ; gas 93 octane (non ethanol)

You need to talk with Kelly at Motosportz or Wally they will lead you in the rite direction,,pm them or hang tight,,also change your Subject to,,," Spark plug Color-Lectron" that will get some attention here..

How does it run?

Running like a top. Confused by light colored plug and excess spooge. 1/2 turn out now.

BTW... 2013 model with 4.5 hours on it.

It took a few hrs for me to burn oil out of the pipe from the stock carb. When I had lectron perfect I would still get a little on end and out of rivits. DONT adj for oil dripping adjust for plug and performance.

Depending on the fuel and mix oil you won't always get a coffee colored plug. Spooge means nothing except that the oil flashpoint is high enough that all the oil isn't burning in the exhaust. I use Ammsoil and VP110 and although my bike runs about as perfect as I could ask for. I've had greenish gray plug color most likely due to the lead in the fuel.

How much ride time does it take for a plug to show a representative color?

You really should throw a new plug in it and re-check..

Should be immediate,,idle and wot...

To do it properly, you need to do a WOT run, then shut it off immediately and coast into you pit and pull the plug. If you idle, or ride slowly, or at all after your WOT run, it will alter the look of the plug.
Now... I don't know about 2 strokes, but trying to read a plug on a 4 stroke single, with modern fuels is nothing more than a waste of time.

A plug won't color immediately, especially on a put-put run. It will stay washed because it never reaches operation temperature.
