Re: Intermittent power loss (need help troubleshooting please)

Spark plugs removed.

I don't really know what I'm looking for, but I notice:
  1. the plugs are coated in oil, but they don't look quite like the "oil deposits" photo in my Haynes manual
  2. the insulators are blackened, looks kinda like the carbon deposits photo in my Haynes manual - mixture too rich?
  3. the arms are rusted - seems normal

from left to right: 1,2,3,4,5,6



another view, bottom to top: 1,2,3,4,5,6



#1 plug immediately after removal:



#2 plug immediately after removal:



#6 plug immediately after removal (definitely in the worst shape - blackened, makes sense given the dieseling issue):
