Is it possible to ignore it too much?

Ok completely random: do you think that laundry detergent companies take into account for the liquid that sticks to the cup when they make the size of the cup?

Why do Hebrew National hot dogs come 7 to a package, yet the buns come 6? You have to buy 42 to come out even...

Are those letters on the tailgate painted or stickers? No for real there is a tailgate in that pic.

Feel free to borrow some sense of humor from the free "Sense of humor box" (here) in case you are out.

Why you do not drive in mud with street tires, good chance you will get stuck and probably muddy.

I figured since this is my thread and there's a bunch of members already watching it, I'd post my current issue with my truck here. My truck has been popping or slightly backfiring through the carb when I press the gas pedal quickly from an idle. It will either stall afterwards or run ruff until you give it some throttle to smooth-en back out. These are what the #1 and #8 spark plugs look like, rich?



What should I do?

I would say its rich! I prefer a tan slightly brown color but alittle more then the brown won't hurt black will. You may be burning oil, are they wet?

I haven't run it since thursday, but i think they were a little wet around the threads. I don't think I'm burning oil it's got good compression in all cylinders. There's a light coating of black soot in the tailpipes too which I read meant it was rich. The plugs are black as well in case the picture doesn't show it good enough. I need to know what to do though, down jet?

I'd adjust air/fuel mixture before rejetting. If it takes more than 2 turns in then set the screw back to where you had it and drop a jet size and so on till you get it right. Dont go too lean that will hurt more than help. A way to tell if you are too lean is get on a straight road and get going and go WOT then slowly let off. If you pick up speed your too lean.

NW, if its back firing it seems like timing, maybe its ready for a timing chain, just my .02
And new plugs cant hurt
