Status: offline 		I've been in R/C for a while and my Dynamite .12SPD is real bad about fowling plugs and I can't figure out WHY! Could it be caused by the gas I use or the type of plugs I'm using. I'm using Trinity 20% Power Blend and McCoy MC59 plugs. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks

Status: offline 		Coyote, there are 2 reasons why glowplugs fail. One is too much heat (running too lean). Two, some kind of garbage going through your engine and ending up in the combustion chamber. By garbage I mean dirt (check your air filter for leaks and make sure it's clean) and possibly pieces of your conrod bushing or crank bearings that are beginning to fail.
But before you yank out your engine and tear it apart, just clean up the air filter, better yet replace it, and then quit using those MC-59's. You can buy a dozen of them and the first 6 you try will pop in no time. Then you put in the next one and it lasts a gallon. Very hit and miss on quality with these plugs.
Try an OS A-3 (my pick for your engine) or any "quality" medium hot to hot heat range plug.
The K+B plug mentioned above is a "very hot" plug.
