i doesnt sound like fuel starvation to me either, and a sooty plug is
not really relevent with unleaded as modern petrol is really sooty on a
correctly set up engine.
Just look at car tailpipes you never see grey deposits anymore just jet
black.

Grey car exhausts was due to the lead - the current black is soot from
when they are cold, then nothing when they are warm. Plug colours
haven't changed - sooty plug is too rich, idled too much, too many cold
starts, oil leaking in... or one or two more things I've forgotten.

It sure ain't starvation!
