Re: EF1000IS is giving problems

 Speedy, the plug looks like it is brand new, the only discoloration is on the rim of the plug surrounding the electrode, then it's only showing traces of purple. I've never seen such a clean spark plug, but I've also never removed one after only an hour of use.
 Like I said I feel it may be running a little lean.
 This all started quiet suddenly so I'm wondering if a small peice of trash made it's way to the carberator, what do you think.
