What does the exhaust look like when it is running? Black smoke(flooding)? Blue smoke(oil consumption)? White smoke(antifreeze)? No smoke(A-OK)? Sounds like it is either starving for fuel or it is flooding out. With the fouling plugs, it seems like it might be flooding. Have you checked the air cleaner for blockage?

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi.
