Hi Abe, I had an engine that had good compression
but it was fouling out new plugs within a few miles. Several plugs were wet with oil. I borrowed a bore scope that has a light so you look
into the cylinders. Several cylinders were wet
with oil and I noticed the heavy deposits of carbon on the valves and on top of the pistons.

I pulled the head and I had never seen so much carbon. I removed the pistons and they
had so much carbon in around the rings the oil holes in the pistons were clogged with carbon. Had to drill the holes after removing the rings.
Did a valve job, put in new rings and rod bearings. Solved the plug fouling. The engine didn't have any sludge in it. I didn't pull the engine. There are times when you have to tear
down an engine. This unleaded gas creates a lot
sticky gummy deposits. A gas stablizer should be used when you store a machine for long period's
of time. Hal
