It's just not possible to find a hot enough plug to keep from fouling during extended periods of idling. If you're running at idle speed for more than 10 minutes or so, you're not doing the engine any favors. If you absolutely MUST get to operating temp for some reason other than just admiring the sound of the engine, do it at 1,000-1,500 RPM so you'll be in the midrange or high speed fuel circuit- - - -not idle. Once the engine is tuned, it should be good to go for months, with an occasional 5-minute run just to keep things limbered up. What's the purpose for all the tinkering, anyway?
