Oil on Spark plugs

[nammer]

I just wanted to make sure, there is NOT supposed to be oil on the spark plugs right? because when I replaced my old spark plugs, there was so much oil all over it, I thought it was normal, but I don't think it makes sense. Probably the inner seals right? Compression is good, thanks!

This is what brand new spark plugs look like after being run for about 1 minute, kinda hard to see the oil, but it's def there

you will see a little.....but those plugs dont actually look that bad for being new... can u post a pic of your other plugs

i wiped them off, cause I was keeping them as a back up, they were pretty much covered, like all over

these are the old ones, one is beat to hell because I tried to practice gapping on it, which btw, these spark plugs are not pregapped!!!

If the compression is at spec what are you worried about. These are 2 strokers so there should always be oil mixed with the gas and on the plugs. What they look like depends on if you cranked it without starting or just shut it down after running around on the water for an hour. Again, if it runs well, has good compression don't sweat it. The gap needs to be close. If it's off by a mill or 2 again don't sweat it. The pics look fine.

cool, thanks linescreamer, yea compression is good, i was just curious as to whether or not oil should be on spark plugs, but i guess it is, yea this is my first experience with a 2 stroke motor, other than weedwackers.
