NO WAY!!! Get outa town. I had it parked by the wall, with the exhaust a good 6-8 inches away, and after 2 minutes of idle, i had 2 one foot patches of black on the wall, and a pudle of water on the ground which looked and smelled like there was a bit of gas in it.

The tops are black, and i know hey arn' stock. I've tried toying with the fuel mixture + or - a few %, and after only 200 miles on the plugs, they're already fouled.

The water will smell like gas, after all that is where it comes from. You need to get your hands on some proper tools and give up on the visual cues.
