Hi guys,

 

Finally connected back the crankcase breather to the carb (took a while for the hose to arrive from minispares).

 

Decided I should adjust the fuel mixture to compensate for extra fuel going in. Took out the spark plugs and was shocked to see that the right two spark plugs (if sitting in the car) were white, while the left two were black!

Is this known to happen where 2 cylinders are running rich, while the other 2 are running lean? What can cause this and how can I correct this?

Sounds like a bad gasket seal on the inlet manifold on one side to me
