Well, having to do a bunch of cross country flying moving grandchildren

nasty mogas I usually burn... Of course, starting up on a remote
airstrip mean't finding a fouled plug from that leaded crap they call
avgas...


Do you lean aggessively on the ground? The O-360-A4A in my Cherokee
fouls plugs if I place the mixture anywhere near (or higher) the
middle of travel. I have found that leaning to the point of engine
stumbling and then enriching a fraction eliminates fouled plug issues
- even on long taxis.
