Kind of hard to decipher your question but.....

Plug(s) fouled black can mean fuel too rich or oil is fouling them. Generally speaking.

If it were me, and I was *certain* some diesel was put in the gas tank, I'd drain it and whatever else I could (fuel filter, hoses etc. ... good time to inspect fuel hoses!), clean the plugs, put it back together, put in new gas, run it, clean the plugs again (if needed), then hope all is well.

There may be other things needed to be done, (purge the fuel injectors ??) but I'm not sure of that. As I said. It's what I'd do. ;)
