cant tell if it missfiring or detonation,52n and 30f jets,plugs look good br8,the discoloration on the ground strap is real close to the base of the plug,ben told it should be in the middle.

If you are detonating you will have black specks on the white porcelain inside the plug. you may need a magnifying glass to see them.

You may have too much timing based on what your saying about your ground strap.

maybe but it would be more likely if you were lean. An engine tends to be rich on all cylinders not just one. Check all your wires to make sure they are connected well. Did you check all of your plugs to see if they look similar?

Cut the threads off the plugs and look at the base of the porcelain. It should look like someone drew a line around it with a dull pencil. If it's bigger than that it's too rich. If it's skinnier/non-existent it's lean.

Check all plugs and jet for the leanest plug. Try pulling .002-.003 out of it if that's the leanest plug. 1/8" fuel ring is too much.

Sounds like you need to verify jetting for leanest cylinder and pull some more timing.
