That was determined to be a plug gone bad. I can almost
understand the plug thing if it wasn't for the fact that I have had
other engines with normal plugs, and I change them out of routine
maintenance, and not too frequently.

The Lincoln Navigator tow vehicle got the recommended new plugs at 100
000 mi, although they looked fine. On the Navigator, it takes about
two hours to change the plugs, so it is just as well they last so
long. Platinum points. You can't get such a thing for your engine.?

Uhhh...this was just a pass-along, not a post outlining a problem I was
having with an internal combustion engine. :)

I change the spark plugs on my lawn tractor once a year. Takes less than
five minutes, including unwrapping the plugs and checking their gaps.

Haven't had to check the plugs on my trusty Husky chain saw or on my
string trimmer.
