Plug Reads and Oil Question

[axgrider73]

Ok guys, I now have about 6 hours on my Virage (700 carb) since I got it runnung right. I have been pulling the plugs and checking the compression about every three hours (I guess I am a little paraniod). Compression reamins at 150+ on both cylinders. Here are a couple of pics of one of the plugs (they both look identical).

These look alright don't they? This is not a WOT plug chop so I am wondering is this a very good indicator of the tunning of my engine?

Also, I am pre-mixing and messed up and mixed it at 32-1 on the last tank of gas. It seemed to run ok and didn't foul the plugs so I am wondering if it would be ok to keep running it at 32-1? Maybe a little insurance?

One last question: I have been using Polaris synthetic blend oil. Its is around $30 a gallon from my dealer. Is there a less-expensive alternative?

Thanks guys!

Is that chunks of carbon on the plugs? If so, you are running waaayyy too much oil.

I'd do the plug chops at WOT to get an acurate reading and 40:1 is wayyy more than enough oil to keep you safe.

Ok! I will back the oil down to 40:1. I guess I can get a little over cautious some. When I do a WOT chop this is what I want the plugs to look like right?

We are going riding this weekend if it doesn't rain so I will see what they look like at 40:1.

Thanks for the info.
