Lots of people will see it right here, and the whole site is searchable, and the search engine is pretty good.
Those that seek shall find-

Who said that?

Ok here we are WOT plug chop on the new 40:1

So much for plug chops. It looks like new.
I guess you'll have to ride it around and let it eat and color it in one way or another. Watch for other hints, like 4 stroking or getting too hot.
How did it run?

 

[SRPM]

Yah, about the same but a little better. What would be the first signs of it being too lean? I'll post new pic after work trip.

 

[Slogger]

Sometimes they'll run cleanly with no burbling at all but sound thin and the power isn't there. When you stop you might smell overheating metal/oil.
Sort of a raspy, dry exhaust note and/or a fast idle.
Living in Co at altitude being a little too rich would be more common, I would think.

[SRPM]

For the length of my road about 50 yards.

My plug after I got to work this morning. It ran a bit better less pedaling up the hill, more responsive and a little faster(1or 2 mph).

you need at least half a mile of WOT to get any information out of a plug chop, a mile or more is preferred. Then you immediately pull the plug out without letting the engine idle.
