Clearing a fouled plug

[Roger Long]

Should you clear a fouled plug on run up with the mag on "Both" or switched
to the side that is running rough? Since it's just heat, I can't think of
any reason why one way would be better than the other.

I'd keep both running....I don't see how shutting down mags that are
perfectly running makes for a better de-fouling. Plus, keeping them both
going will prevent anything from fouling those plugs as well.

If a plug is fouled and you switch over to the side that's running rough, there won't
be much heat on the affected cylinder 'cause that plug won't be firing well if at
all. Run on both. The engine will shake less, too.
