Re: spark plug had fuel on it
I think that means your running too rich.

Re: spark plug had fuel on it
wow....took awhile to....decipher this post..and find the problem...dont underestimate the rs? dont underestimate the power of the period (in your case), lol im just kidding with you. So as I understand it, your idle sits at 500 rpm's at a stop?

Re: Re: spark plug had fuel on it
replace the plugs with [ashah plug in the correct part # please] BPR5ES [?] and be sure they are gaped to the correct specs [again ashah
 ]. make sure your wires are good and pluged in and there is no excess FOD in the plug wells

hmm, just making sure i get this right, but the spark plug is wet with fuel when u take it out?
just dont how that is possible, since the temp in the combustion chamber will dry it up.

 Yep BPR5ES or BPR6ES, I would go with the 5. Gap them to .045 to .050 Ok then did the new plugs help at all? Are you sure it is fuel  So there is no check engine light?

Re: Re: Re: Re: spark plug had fuel on it
FOD = Foreign Object Debris
like crap down in the wells. the electricity will follow the least amount of resistance and it may be leaving your plug wire and going thru a tiny hole it has burned thru it by where the wire taps the plug, arcing to some conductive water or something. there is a page by magnacore all about it [ya, so what if i'm lazy!].
