High idle break in process


Not nearly enough timing. You should have had 40-45 degrees of timing at the least at whatever RPM you used for break in.

Hopefully you didn't stick some exhaust valves.

An 8 sounds pretty cold unless you are up around 13:1 and with that ignition, you shouldn't see any fuel residue on the porcelain except for the fuel ring at the bottom where the porcelain meets the shell.
