I thought they looked pretty good too thx. I'm guessing they will get lighter when I use unmixed gas.

What does the top of the piston look like?

Some carbon in the middle and the piston edges are shinny and clean about 1/2 to 3/4 back from the rings

Thx for the info I feel better. From what I see the rebuild is doing ok. The plug should get a little lighter with just gas and the piston looks like the pics that show normal. Nice
Can't wait until I can get on it in a speed run
