Sorry, that's nonsense. He probably should replace the plug but that kind of blanket condemnation doesn't wash. I have engines that run great with a Fox long with an idle bar.
That may be so, Hank....but is one of those engines a K&B 6550 ?
I didn't think so. That's not nonsense either....K&B invented and started
producing K&B 1L plugs for a reason....the reason was their engines. I got
a handfull of those original plugs to try, before K&B had developed the
packaging for them, about 1972 or so.
I learned the hard way, and had it proven to me....that the K&B's don't
like idle bar plugs....they run much, much better on a non idle-bar plug
like the K&B 1L. BTW, I've been running those engines continually most
every weekend for 35 years.
Sorry, that's a fact.
FBD.
