Been using this band-aid all summer. They seem to work great for me. Had a hard time finding a hotter burning plugs, in fact, couldn't find any...the NAPA crew could only find one plug listed in the book. So I purchased 4 of the anti-fouling screw on type things. Haven't had any problem plugs or fouling since. I do plan a rebuild sometime within the next year to once and for all take care of it the source problem.

I have seen them used with good results, and had engines with them that worked quite well. They certainly look like that should screw up being able to ignite the fuel mixture, but they do in fact ignite it quite well. The wankel engine in fact uses a heavily shrouded spark plug inherently because of its design.

If I had an N that was suffering from chronic oil fouling, I'd certainly consider putting a set of anti foulers on it.

Arther..... ."oil foulers" are bandaids at best.

There 2 different kinds of anti-oil foulers. One is a screw-in shell that removes the sparkplug tip from inside the combustion chamber (where it belongs) thus keeping it away from the excess oil inside the combustion chamber. It also causes the sparkplug to "run hotter" which will "burn-off" the fouling oil.

The other anit-oil fouler scheme is an additional spark air gap built inside the sparkplug insulator which works on the theory of preventing the oil fouling from draining off the electrons before the electrical charge becomes great enuff to jump the real sparkplug gap. Inotherwords the electrons have to jump 2 gaps to get "home" to ground. This takes a really good ignition system with excessive high sparkplug voltage to work. N-Ignition systems are "adequate" at best and really don't have the "excessive" spark voltage needed to jump 2 spark gaps.

All this mucking around can be readily handled by using a "hotter" sparkplug with an "extended tip" that is already designed to "burn-off" any oil fouling. New sparkplugs cost about the same as "anti-oil foulers" anyways, get some new good sparkplugs. I use NGK B-6L on my eazy starting 6 volt 8N that does't foul..... .Dell
