I was thinking about getting a new set today as these have been thru lots of major engine adjusting and might not perfectly reflect the current engine tune. Im sure the black bits appeared long long ago as i was trying some different wicked timing settings. I can never get it to ping, or possibly i just cant pick up on the sound of it pinging. Im having a very hard time being satisfied with setting up the timing and idle mixture.

Think going a bit more rich on the idle screw might help a bit? Should richen up the first circuit a bit shouldn't it?
