I pull mine after every few runs just to be sure all is working correctly. Google "reading 2-stroke spark plugs" for images. Here's an...

    Pulled the powerhead!!

    For what its worth, I pull my plugs now after every couple of outings. They should be similar in appearance (see google for pics of a good running 2-stroke plug). You can see this piston melting long before it ever gets this critical. You'll see metal shavings on the plug that tells you the...
