Do you have the right type of spark plugs, not running "Hotter" or "Colder" plugs.

the plugs are black and carboned up. when i check to see if the spark plug sparks, thespark goes off to the side of the plug.

Black carbon is fuel fouled. Chech to see if the gapping is correct. Try to see if you can take some fine sandpaper and clean the electrodes and then check for the spark again.
