Our M seems to be fouling out plugs very quickly. You will put a new set of plugs in any after 3 or 4 hours of running it will start to miss. When you restart it the next morning, it will be down one or two cylinders. When you remove the plugs they have some sort of soot or black stuff on them that occasionally bridges the gap between the electrodes. It doesn't smoke at all when running at constant throttle, but the moment the throttle is opened up or the governor kicks in it blows a grey soot out of the exhaust. It has a delco distributor on it which I replaced the points on recently. I reset the points to the IH factory gap for the IH distributor; could this be part of the problem? Otherwise is it a carb issue? It uses a little oil, but not enough to be seen when running(i.e no blue smoke except a few whisps on start-up). Thanks, Chad
