spark plugs

what's up everyone...i replaced spark plugs for a buddy of mine and it still wouldn't start so i removed them again and the tip was black which looked and felt like oil...this car has been down for a while now since it had a blown clutch but has been replaced...so my question is...are his seals done for or are there other things to look at?

Really?
It sounds flooded.
Do a search on that. "flooding" or "de-flooding"
Give you a hint....take all the plugs back out and get them dry while you are searching.
It's just been covered so many times I don't have the time right now to post all the links and proceedure(s).

Ray, replace those Chun's old plugs with new ones, I think those have been on for 60k miles. Anyhow, do the DIY deflood like Mazsurfer says. I'll hit up chun tomorow.
