Could be an injector that has a bad spray pattern. New plugs might ignite something real rich like that. Was the fuel distributor real dirty on the inside?

depending on what motor you have, they are horrible for valve guides wearing out causing plugs to foul. Is there a burnt oil residue on the plugs? what do the plugs look like when you pull them out?

motor is good!no sign of burning oil.the plugs are all light brown!after a few trip the spark plugs produces slightly reddish spark!I know over fuelling could kill a spark plug.but at which point of the fuel system?
fuel distributor which holds the control plunger and seals are the only place i havent check.As i say,the amount of fuel flowing after i build up the fuel pressure should be how small?
flowing?or vapour only?
