Gotcha gotcha. Im not super super familiar with efi models. But id welll assume its probably something faulty with the fueling system. Having gas in the air box/air intake is not ideal whatsoever. If I were you when your mechanic comes over tomorrow Id definetly mention that to em. Honestly dont know what would cause gas to go there (carb kinda guy lol). I do know that having the spark plug be black and dirty could also be running too rich(too much fuel). Which would make sense since theres gas in the air intake. But how it got there I cant say for certain. Which would also explain not being able to get to higher rpms for sure. If theres too much gas and not enough air it aint gonna run right. Way too much gas (Flooded) and it just dont do shit lol. Could be the reason it started now is that old gas inside the compression chamber had evaporated off to the point where it wasnt flooded
