Fouling Spark Plugs

There are only two things I can think of that cause spark plug fouling:

  • The fuel mixture is way too "rich."
  • The "oil" rings on the piston are worn, allowing crankcase oil to get past and above the piston into the combustion chamber.

Why do Spark plugs burn out?

Spark plugs don't really burn out, they foul out. A spark plug is used to ignite the fuel/air mixture squirted into the cylinder by the fuel injector. The plug sends a spark and boom small explosion. However gasoline is not 100% clean, so it leaves carbon deposits on the plug. Over time these deposits foul the plug.
