[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 482835, member: 3278"] [size=5]No need to do any of the above. Extended idling puts an oily but soft film on the plugs. They are not fouling. That is a thing of the past. Heck I run my antique engines on a 16:1 oil ratio and have not fouled a plug in years. As long as you are not adjusted too rich at idle they should idle all day long and come right up on plane and burn off the light film immediately. You guys are overthinking this! Quite a few years ago a hotter plug was recommended for extended idle (not colder like was mentioned above) but that recommendation went away. With a good working thermostat the production plug is running in the range it was designed for. [/size] [/QUOTE]
