Yea I would agree, I like the light brown of the combustion in the jug,I just wanted to see if the insulator matched it up.

Looking good to me. Maybe even a little bigger main jet if you you run wide open alot. Once its broke in you can switch to pure synthetic. I run 40to1 amsoil interceptor and its supposed to keep things clean. Last time I had my head off I had a little carbon on the piston but I have now switched to interceptor amsoil and I'll see if the oil cleaned the carbon off the piston. But dont do synthetic until fully broken in.  Good job, just watch them high rpm runs for problems like last time and double check that timing :)

Stop worrying & taking the head off to look. She's good. Nice & oily & won't come to any harm like that.
