I have a 25 hp kohler in a garden tractor and that thing will foul plugs and diesel and then bend push rods when I shut it off as well if I don't run high octane fuel in it.

I add E85 at about 20%. seems to do the trick. If I was smart enough to figure out the right jet size I would just run straight E85 and be done with mixing fuel.
