My P-60 has recently picked up the annoying habit of fouling the #1 and #3 plugs almost immediately. #2 and #4 are not doing this. Any thoughts? Timing problem? |

How often do you change distributor cap and rotor? What ptug are you running? What gap? What is the inside color of the plug ash on the used/fouled plugs? How old are your plug wires? |

Eddie, the plugs are D-16s gapped to .028. The cap, rotor and wires were new last year, and probably have less than 10 hours on them. The plugs that are fouling are black and a bit oily. The other plugs have a tannish color to them. |

Did you use a spark plug socket, with rubber insert, to install the spark plugs? Where did you get the spark plug wires? Good work on the cap and rotor. With a point system it is good to change the cap and rotor every year. Observe the porcelien insulation on the fouled plugs carefully for hair line cracks. |
