I have an old 1950's towmotor forklift with a flat head continental engine in it. It has always burned oil really bad in the 15 years Ive owned it but I just am never going to get around to rebuilding the engine I guess. I use it a lot too. It really fogs up the whole yard. Keeps the mosquito population at bay!

I maybe clean the plugs once every couple years now instead of every few days and it still starts and runs fine. Just gotta drive into the wind so you can see through the smoke. Just thought that was interesting is all.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
