Engines that run hotter due to lower-octane gasoline may burn off more residuals in some cases, whereas more residuals may build-up from an engine using higher octane fuels. White porcelain showing no signs of carbon build-up, cracking, peppering, or oil deposits is considered an ideal spark plug after a run.
How can I tell if my fuel pump is faulty?
Inspect the fuel pump visually. If fuel is dripping, the diaphragm is faulty and you need a new pump. Another way to check the pump is disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor and place it in a container. Crank the engine to see if the pump is pushing any fuel through the line.
