Hi there, the past days I assembled some information to implement Spark plug fouling at the C182s (which I plan to be portable to the default C172p).
I already know the factors leading to it and how to remedy, and there is also alot of videos showing fouled spark plugs and the behaviour of engines suffering it.
What i don't know, however is:
- how common is this?
- how fast does fouling develop usually (in minutes)?
- Is it easy to trigger, or is it a thing occuring by chance (ie. when idling at the stand for, say 10 minutes at 800rpm at an average day, is it by pure luck to foul a plug? or can you reliably trigger this?)
- How much of a factor is OAT, (I think it should be great, because the plugs are starting colder?)
In short: I need some real world expertise to implement the effect, especially the tripping part.
Thank you in advance
