Is white a bad sign?

I did a spark test today and my spark plug fired white sparks instead of blue. What could this mean???

I don't think this has anything to do with the fuel mixture. I don't think you understand what a spark test is. You take out spark plug, ground it to cylinder or frame...press start button see if a nice fat blue spark comes out? Well my sparks were white, not blue. I don't think this is bad I just wanna know if it will affect anything.

yeah i know what a spark test is...... thats why i said possibly that could be it... what kind of plug do you have?

you don't understand, kingrap. A spark test is when you test to make sure you're getting spark, the plug isn't even screwed in, you just take the plug out, ground it out, and crank the motor to check if you have spark. The jetting has abosolutely nothing to do with it.

I'm not sure about what color the spark is supposed to be, maybe it means the spark is weak. If I had my warrior home i'd go check what mine does, but it's not here :'(

LOL! it is supposed to be blue! I have NGK plug! Ya I think my ignition system is taking a **** because thats why it takes me like 15 trys to get it to start and the spark is a weak white one!! I think I have just solved my problem boys!
