[QUOTE="chesterspal, post: 128615, member: 23493"] Hey thanks. The more I ponder this problem, the more I now think it has to do with the ignition verses the fuel. Tested the resistance of the 16" ignition wire that leads from the coil to the plug. Came back around 10,000 ohms. That just seems way too high to produce a decent spark and may be the reason I'm getting carboned up plugs after just a few minutes of running and then engine failure. They make ignition wire with a solid copper core that has 0 ohms resistance. I ordered a short piece off Ebay and will give that a try. I now think this may be the issue. Will report back in a few.
