Hi Mav....<br /><br />Just a few things to consider about fouled plugs.<br /><br />Compression good? 90psi or better per cylinder is always nice.<br /><br />Is the engine temp where it should be? Not running cold. At idle, you should be able to put your finger on the flat area ontop and just behind the head for several seconds before having to move them.<br /><br />Will your spark jump a 7/16 gap with a hot blue spark?<br /><br />When was the last time the carb was rebuilt? Float setting correct?<br /><br />Fuel line connections tight.<br /><br />Just a few things there to think about.
