If the carburetor is adjusted too rich, extra soot will get on the plugs and into the oil.

Re: Getting Rattles Back On The Road
Took Rattles out for some practice. We're going on a small tour on Saturday. Just about 50 miles or so to a picnic with the Model T club. This small drive let us torque the head bolts after it was hot. We also took out the plugs and made sure they were clean. They looked good. I can also report that after sitting for months Rattles started right up and ran great!
First we oiled it up and did a safety check.
Then it was off to the drive. We were able to get it up to 39.5 MPH!
