So instead of fixing the real problem, you want to mask the problem with a different plug that will "take the heat???" Sorry, but that doesn't make much sense!

The engine is trying to tell you something. It's saying, "I'm SICK! Please fix me!" If you do find a plug that will continue to work when the engine is overheated like that, the engine won't last much longer.

It may be as simple as the shroud being packed full of grass clippings and other crud, though that should've started on fire by now.

Most likely, you're dealing with a maintenance issue. You need to give your engine a tune up.

You also might need to adjust, and/or clean, the carburetor. Air cooled engines don't like being run too lean (not enough fuel). That's how they get hot.

Then again, the engine may be just plain shot.
