How do you know when your plugs on it's way out? Never had to change mine yet but not sure what the signs of a failing plug are.

Assuming the carb is set properly. Poor idling, Poor throttling, No glow! poor and un-even glow of the element.
Looking at the plug itself.. the element itself should be shiny..well shinyish

Things to look out for. Distorted element, excessive discoluration either burnt or white deposits..little particles imbedded in the plug nose (usually caused by the engine rear bearing on its way out)

A good thing about quality plugs is its normally dead when your trying to start the motor and seldom go whilst in the air.
