It's best to clean the fouled plug. Of course, the problem
is NOT with the mag.



Does that mean that you would shut your airplane down in the run up
area, get out, open the cowling (top and bottom), get out your tool box,
pull the spark plug and clean it on the spot right there? That might
look a little odd, especially at a busy airport. Perhaps I am not
understanding you correctly.

Obviously you don't work on your own airplane. Fry it if you like, and in
spite of warnings from TCM.

Well, I was not trying to be sarcastic, I was just asking a stratight
question about what exactly you were suggesting one do if one is running
up his plane and encountered this situation. I honestly could not tell
from your post, what alternative you were suggesting.

Other than prevention, I have not yet heard a good alternative on the
thread yet. Perhaps I am being dense.


The previous poster talked about an additive. If you've read all that has
been said (other than some jabbering) and the two Sacramento Sky Ranch
links, you probably have a few ideas about prevention, including the legal
additive, Alcor TCP. It is an old formula quite successfully used in auto
gasoline way back when to prevent lead fouling of sparkplugs.
