[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 132551, member: 597"] Simon I would say you are most likely correct........Plugs can be a pain.......I would say the main thing is to have an engine that is in a well enough state of tune that the plugs run well enough to not give trouble........And that should be the case. Of course that is easy for me to say, given I am a mechanic, and play around with these things every day. So basically if your engine is burning excess amounts of oil or the carburetion is too rich, then yes plug failures will be a common problem........Like our modern fuels, we have to live with it all.........An engine old or new that is tuned up well enough will run happily and not fowl plugs regularly.......
