Default Help with fouled plug

Hi everyone,

I am fouling out my #4 plug, I would say within 10 miles it is black. I am pretty sure it is gas fouled, not oil, as when I look at it is a matte black, carbon like appearance and not wet and oily. Does anyone have any hints for me on what to look at? Float valve? TIA.

Matte black and not oily is usually a gas issue. It does sound like a stuck float. Do you have a picute of the offending plug?
