The other day i took out my spark plug to put in a new one and noticed that the plug was all black and charred. The previous put an hmf on it but i dont think he rejetted. He gave the HMF main jet that comes with the pipe. Should i put the new jet it and see if it changes the color of the plug? Thanks.

you only need to be conserend with the porislin part of the plug.
there is nothing wrong with being a little rich ,you'll find your engin will run a little cooler if its a tuch rich.
