Runout must be kept to a minimum. Movement of the center of rotation is usually caused by bearing wobble or shaft whip. When coupled with misalignment, this problem is compounded. Contrary to popular belief and common practice, the installation of flexible couplings cannot correct or compensate for misalignment.

One of the main causes of black spark plugs is a rich air-fuel mixture. This means that there is an excess of fuel in the combustion chamber, which can lead to incomplete combustion and the production of carbon deposits. A rich air-fuel mixture can be caused by a variety of factors, including a faulty oxygen sensor, a clogged air filter, or a malfunctioning fuel injector. It is important to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage to the spark plugs and the engine.
