Soot, or dry fouling of the plugs is a result of unburned fuel. The causes are (in order of likelihood) 1. Not enough air. 2. Weak Spark. Failed spark plug(s). 3. Too much petrol. 4. Ignition timing incorrect. The main thing to establish is the soot on all plugs or just one or a number. If all, then 1,2,3 & 4. If just one or two, or a bank if multi carbed, then focus on that bank.

What is a fouled spark plug?
Fouling spark plugs can happen when the tip temperature is insufficient to burn off carbon, fuel, oil or other deposits and causes spark to leach to metal shell...no spark across plug gap will cause a misfire. Wet-fouled spark plugs must be changed as they won't fire. Dry-fouled spark plugs can sometimes be successfully cleaned by bringing the engine up to the operating temp.
