Fellas, thanks for your patience. I've been turning wrenches since I was 6 years old, but I've got an IH gasser that is just drivin' me up a wall. It is a 301 replacement engine according to the numbers on the block. I completely serviced it and tuned it up to the max when I got it. All new ignition parts, o/hauled the carb and set the valves. Compression measured 127 pounds across the board and it uses no oil at all. There is a little slop in the distributor shaft. I put in Autolite plugs. The thing just runs like a champ as long as I'm "pushin' it" hard. But, if I'm just putzin' around the yard and doing odd jobs for a few days, especially at slower speeds, it starts to sputter and miss. Always on plugs 1 and 2. The plugs are carbon fouling. Not wet in any manner; they look just like you rubbed 'em with a charcoal brick or something. Like I say, not a hint of wet oil fouling. I pull the plugs and clean 'em up, put 'em back in and the darn thing runs like a million bucks again. Engine is to specs and the coil is throwing an easy 3/8" spark. The only IH 6 pop gas engine I've ever been around was the ones in our old trucks. We tuned those things up every 15 to 18 years weather they needed it or not and they always ran great. I'm really starting to suspect these Autolite plugs. Anyone got any ideas? Could that distributor shaft be dealing me fits? Thanks, Allan

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
