Yes your plugs are fouled.
Replace them with the plugs of your choice, I used E3 spark plugs.

ok 3 for 3..... I've never seen this happen, but I never did an engine flush and seafoam before. and its such a fine thin layer of carbon. The lead on the worst one was white like it was getting really hot. New plugs on tap for this weekend. THanks all

as an aside, I remember when I was young in the 70's my dad used to put his plugs in a little machine that cleaned them shiny, then he would re-install them.

anyone else have input on my kaput plugs? Is this going to continue to happen with new plugs? It has been nearly 1000 miles since engine flush and seafoam.

Did you do the induction cleaning with the new plugs in??

That would be why they are fouled..

because they are platinum plugs. I have done 3 induction cleanings with the regular Champion plugs and they held up fine. That's why the platinum plugs are crap. The +4's have more firing points, and don't foul like the regulars
