   Just changed the plugs on my sisters 1.1 and they are all red on the tips...
   
   I read somwhere that this was because its running rich? is this correct? And how do i put it right?

   if running rich they would be black.
   it's either too low temp rating for the engine, iirc they should be ngk bkr6ez
   or its running lean.
