Hi All,
Can anyone shed some light on why the front two plugs are black yet the
back plugs are light brown as they should be? There was another guy
flying a Sting with a 912 and he's has the same thing happening. Any
advice would be appreciated.
Regards,

If your CHT's are much the same,The front two cylinders could be running a touch richer due to imbalance in air flow because of less than
ideal design. If the front CHT's are a lot lower, you may be getting incomplete combustion due to underheating, simmilar to when the engine
is cold. Better a bit rich than too lean IMHO.

Craig,
All my cylinders are running within about 10 to 15 degrees of each
other as I now have a shroud over the engine with a 2.5" hose cooling
all the fins evenly.
