Keith: Here's the $10 hack fix! Are you running the stock heat range on
the plugs? If so, move up to a hotter plug. Try the NGK of Acell ones.
Acell sells a hotter plug that's listed in their cat. under TR8. Don't
worry, they're dimensionally the same as the TR6 one's. This combo cured
my plug fouling and lousy idle on my high mileage TR6. And, your only
out a few bucks if it dosen't cure your problem.
