with a plug chop you actually cut the plug threads off, and look at the base of the porcelain.

Now I am not a pro, but I am certain these guys can give you more/better information.

You don't have to cut it necessarily but use a flashlight to look at the base of the porcelain. If you can't see well then cut it.

When jetted spot on you should have a 2mm grahm cracker brown smoke ring extending up from the base of the porcelain. Less than 2mm or lighter in color and you're lean, more than 2mm or darker and you're rich. This needs to be done with a brand new plug that doesn't get used at all at any other throttle position than the one you are trying to test.

a used plug that appears rich ,can actually be dangerously lean ,gotta use a new plug and look for the cardboard color ring ,the plug tells alot of the other jetting ,the heat range and ignition timing if you know how to read it well
