AC R43 plugs are pretty cold. I'd switch to R45 plugs like JW51 suggested.

Note the comment from Bartamos above "From Champion Spark Plug Co. Soft, black, sooty dry deposits on plug indicate carbon fouling. Carbon fouling is an indication of a rich air-fuel mixture, weak ignition, or improper heat range (too cold)."
