I've been experiencing a poor running engine lately and have suspected a bad 
plug wire. So I installed new plug wires and whilst doing so, plulled the 
plugs.  To my surprise, my #1 plug is very sooty, probably part of my 
problem...but #2 is almost like new, a very lean burn look.  #3 is nice and tan 
while #4 is also sooty.  
 
Question:  
 
Why the difference between #1 and #2 and #3 and #4?  I could understand if it 
was 1 and 2 that were sooty and 3 and 4 were lean.  But the carbs should 
equally affect the plugs in the cylinders they feed, shouldn't they?
