Opinions on Spark Plugs

I know the pictures are not that good but can someone give me their opinion on how these spark plugs look. Do you think the engine is running lean, rich, okay, full of carbon...

Thanks.

Way too rich. White is right, in other words, they should look the same as they were installed when your engine is running correct.

You don't read the plug body you should read the burn at the the tip area. A white plug is just as bad as a black one. A plug should have a light tan to it and the tip and should be also checked.

Looking from a pic they look fine. Early fI systems run rich at start up causing the outer black area. The actual burn area looks ok. You don't want a "White" plug you want one with some color.

Mine look the same, probably due to worn valve guides.
