Spark Plugs – Overheated
A clean, white insulator firing tip and/or excessive electrode erosion indicates this spark plug condition. k This is often caused by overadvanced ignition, timing, poor engine cooling system efficiency (scale, stoppages, low level), a very lean air/fuel mixture, or a leaking intake manifold. When these conditions prevail, even a plug of the correct heat range will overheat.
