Spark plugs

Is there anyway to tell if you are running too rich or too lean on a 2 stroke. I know on 4 strokes you can read plugs pretty easily. Does anyone have pictures of what a proper plug is supposed to look like for a 2 stroke?

do you happen to have a two year old carhart jacket?

A nice tan is about as best as I can describe. Black is rich, white is lean and silver is, well to late.

Trying to get any useful info from a used saw plug is pretty tough.
Your better off buying a tach and using the cut and feel method to find the proper mixture.

No tach well then,,,,

untill you get one,,,,Combine Bwalkers & Ejeepers answers and it will work,,,, when tuning use new plugs,,,,,load saw in the cut then kill it under load,,, with out a tach better to stay a tad rich,,,, jmho
