Try putting an older plug in (oily....ish) and see if it changes colour.

If your running in are you marking throttle positions and doing plug chops at different throttle positions ? If your running-in you might not be coming onto the main jet and you could be lean elsewhere (pilot, needle, etc).

Thanks Mick.Yes,I am running in,but have more oil in the mix.25:1.
It is stuttering mid range,but when it gets the revs up it flies.Havent done many plug chops to be honest,will just try a bigger main and see what happens.

get some masking tape and mark your throttle 1/8. 1/4. 1/2. 3/4

Run about a mile holding at the position then cut the engine and check the plug.

This will help identify if your, pilot, needle (+ clip position), slide, atomizer and main jet are ok
