My Mooney will foul up really quick, but there are ways to prevent
it...

1) When taxiing on the ground, if adding throttle causes an increase in
RPMs, you are not leaning enough (increasing power on the ground should
be a two fisted task)
2) Full rich should be labeled "Emergency use only and sea level
initial climb out". The only time I ever push the mixture all the way
to the top is during the first 2,000 feet of take off from a sea level
airport.
3) Decend and land with the mixture leaned a lot. For go around, learn
to enrichen as you increase throttle
4) Buy a good engine monitor to ensure proper leaning in flight.

You really don't want extra fuel in those cylinders.

I do in mine. I use it for cooling.
