    you do understand how a engine runs right? the injector sprays gas in the cylinder, the spark plug sparks and it blows up inside the cylinder, no spark = wet plug. if its not soaking wet, it will stink of raw gas.

    best to run it for a minute, then pull that plug out.

    i had a lower than average iq moment and completely forgot about the other end that screws onto the engine. I kept thinking"how could the ceramic part of the spark plug get gas on it"..ive been having these moments too frequently this last week. ill be checking that and swapping the coils.
