I've been enjoying the ride but notice that I've got oil that seems to be leaking from the top. I thought it was to do with the spark plug being loose but even after tightening that there's still leakage.
Also the spark plug is dark in color. I'm running with a NGK B5HS right now. It's there a better plug? I'm thinking I need a new one and a head gasket. Can I use the heat/ oil resident gasket maker I have or does it have to be aluminum?
Is this normal so early on? I would guess my fuel is too rich but I used 6 oz to 1 gallon, I'm pretty confident that's correct?
It runs and idles good so if not for the noticeable oil I wouldn't guess anything else is going on.
Input appreciated. Thanks!
