Sure it's gas? could be oil, intakes can suck oil, they foul the plugs then of course the gas would start to build up????? Clean the plugs, ground them and check for spark. If that's good re-instal and fire it up. Let it run for a few, drive it around the block and pull the plugs again. see if you have oil on them [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

I'm running the smaller Summit elec. fuel pump that is supposedly set at 7 psi. If it were too much pressure blowing past the needle and seat wouldn't more than two plugs be soaked? I put some fresh plugs in and will take a spin tomorrow early evening and pull them after.

Well just got back from a nice romp and pulled the plugs, all were nice and dry. Did a compression test and held the air in for many minutes on each cylinder and had 165ish across the board. The car always ran fine I just wanted to know why those plugs had so much fuel on them. They were getting spark also. I did shut the pump down as I backed into the driveway. I checked down in the bowls and there wasn't alot of extra fuel in them.
