Default plugs look too "wet"

Many engines are normally 'overfueled' so that the combustion chambers
get some affect of cooling by the excess fuel flow through. Also if
you were running with a heavy load and were thus 'lugging' the engine
(not able to reach full rpm) youll also get some wetness on the walls,
piston tops, etc. due to the unburned fuel because the engine isnt
running a 'top efficiency'.
