Check these plugs out. Ever seen green tips?

I know what black and tan plugs indicate.  What is green?

How’s your coolant level?  Notice any loss?

Overall appearance of inner plug area says loudly,  Water.

 

The hood center strips leak right over the spark plugs! leaking plug gaskets contribute.

@Mark D  not sure.  I bought the car last year.  From the tags it hasnt run since 2010.  The previous owner was trying to restore but ran out of time/$.

 

@DJ194950 okay.  Well hopefully it didnt damage motor.  I put some marvel mystery oil in cylinders

Green would be corroded copper. Copper core plugs?

Is just one spark plug green or also the others ? what about the carburetor`s float bowl ?

My son was asking me, if I had an idea to get his motorcycle running, which he had not started for a year.

We removed the spark plugs and opened the carburetor. I never have seen so much green in a fuel system and motor before ! Looked like an algae sea in a village pond.

Remnants of the bioethanol fuel ...!
