Default RE: plug heat range

First, what is fouling the plug?
Carbon build up, running rich.
If it's oily, you may have bigger probs.
How many plugs are fouling, and which ones?
The more carbon, leans me toward rich mix.
Check fuel/air mix.
If no change, after tune up, then yes, go to a hotter plug. IMO!
