Re: what is on my plugs?
Your plugs don't look that bad. Go ahead and change them out. Do a compression test.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Re: what is on my plugs?
good deal. thanks john. i have never seen red stained plugs before. i did use several different fuel stations but all 93 octane. BP, Shell, Mr Fuel, and some off brand on in Michigan (only place close). i did read it could be something they add to their fuel but why only on 2 plugs?
