Perfect.
A properly running Rensis spark plug.

Exactly what you would expect to see, deposits and slightly brownish

Replace plug and rock on man

IMO looks fairly normal, but could use a cleaning/replacement. How's your oil consumption?

looks normal. the plugs will always have deposits on them but what you want is a nice tan or cream color. black or dark brown means you have problems.
