What plug did the guy say to use?
I can't believe that statement
The os #8 isn't a short is a standard long plug medium heat plug.
It should work fine with 20% fuel in any engine
The OS #8 is a short plug(shorter than a McCoy for sure, some people call it a short-med plug) and its a fairly hot plug... the A3 may be hotter but the #8 is the hottest solid platinum element plug OS make(the A3 is plated, not solid).
Neon - if your getting grit in your plug...or your engine is chewing them your in for trouble !! Having a plug chewed(and the element drop) is VERY bad news for your engine ! It will scratch your pistion and do damage, drastically shortening your engines life. How old is your picco ? how many plugs has it chewed ? They should last at least 4 liters of fuel ! and up to 8-10 liters [X(]
Study, whats it do when it won`t start ? if you pull the plug out does it glow well on the ignitor ? how are you priming the engine ?
