Re: spark plugs
I don't think you should be fouling the 3X plugs. The W18 I use are in the same heat range as the 3X .
Maybe investigate why you are fouling your plugs, too rich, GAV adjustment, etc. Oil fouled?

Re: spark plugs
Last set of plugs I bought, Champion W18 (518) I bought at O'Reilly Auto parts. Ordered on line, picked up next morning.
But I am curious. What happened to your 3X's?

Re: Ran great yesterday
Look for carbon tracking on the coil and clean off the coil insulator. Spin the engine over when it is dark and look for sparks. Sounds like your sparks are going directly to ground at the coil.

Re: Briggs Town Sedan door latch question
