I did an in-frame rebuild last winter & have been fighting what has come down to a plug fouling problem. I run it about 20 minutes or so about 3 times a week. I rebuilt the carb & distributor at the same time so I started with the carb, then the distributor and got them squared away and I think I've got it down to #2 fouling. When I put in new plugs, they'll work great until I idle it for ~5 minutes and it starts acting like i've got the wires crossed. If I pull #2 plug, wire brush it, it works great again as long as I run it at 1/2 to full throttle.
I've tried Champion & Auto-lites. I had the head rebuilt by an experienced guy.
I've played with the valve setting. I'm getting discouraged. Might I have a problem with the Valve levers being worn to the point that I might have a lot of trouble setting the gap? can these be reground? or replaced?
Sorry for the long post, Thanks in advance for any ideas.
