I use Bosch Plus 4's - they are self indexing.

Used to see red plugs many years ago on certain types of fuel,back when additives were all the rage....Caltex Boron etc.But that would be all plugs,not one.Deposits on the porcelain are usually additives,in oil or fuel....inlet leak?

This was very common on British twins with a magneto.The points rotated on the armature,and the cam ring was external.It didn't take much play in bearings,misaligned housings or damaged points taper to make a big difference in timing per side.The worse I had was 10 deg on a Lucas,the best 2 deg with...
