    I'd say:

    1. Too rich

    2. Too weak

    3. OK

    4. Too rich

    Ideally, you're looking for a medium tan brown colour on the nose of the insulator.

        After a few miles back and forth and tuning I've got everything pretty balanced out now. The weak spark is coming from a loose fit with the spark plug and boot. Where can I find a new screw on spark plug wire end?

              Try your local metric bike store; most will have 'em in stock.... and they're cheap, $3-7 depending on style.
