I haven't cleaned my engine in a long while I just pulled the plugs the holes are
dry but the plugs are pretty black and smell like gas ( gas not burning that
good) I expected this because of the bucking I figured the fuel isn't burning
that well. The only engine mod I have is a K&N cone and adapter in place of my
airbox.
