Usually plug fowling is due to rich mixture, not lean. Anyway, from what you're saying, it sounds like you have some tuning issues, no actual issues with the car. Here's what I would do:rroberson7805 said:but lean fuel mix tells me I fowled my new plug within 15min. I just have not had time or patience to do much more than brass wire brush to the spark plug. Might be flooding it also.
- Reset carb settings. LSN goes to 1 1/4 and HSN goes to 1 1/2
- Raise car off the ground to ensure it doesn't run away after starting
- Increase idle (either from the idle screw or from the transmitter) - watch
- If you still can't get it going (which I doubt), try holding the throttle wide open while pulling. This helps when starting with a rich mix.
