Maybe a minor air leak in the intake system on the leaner side? The
intake gaskets have a straight side & I've seen them suck in. Maybe a loose hose clamp? A leaking primer is also a possibility - as I recall they usually only prime on one side. A test would be to apprach under power, land and check immediately, avoiding any taxi at low power & see if it is fouling at cruise. I'd be concerned if the black stuff is generated on one side at cruise. |

This calls for a compression check and a timing check on the engine.

I'm talking about soot in the pipe. Right side is dusty brownish -- left side is black grimy. Either burning or pumping oil. Check the plugs on those cylinders -- if the ceramic is also black and sooty, that's the cylinder with the problem. Compression tests are in order. If the black grime is deamp and smeary, suspect a broken ring.
