Like Ed says, the TCP doesn't work at water-cooled engine temperatures and I verified that last summer. I also think my lead fouling is related to the rotary spark plug design (it's very different than most spark plugs) and that I'm running rich. Maybe there is a different spark plug design that would be less susceptible. I now have a set of BUR6EQ/BUR8EQ "hotter" spark plugs from Mazdatrix, I think they were only about $9 each. Will try those someday. Ed, maybe you should get a set and try them since you burn 100LL all the time. Their life might be shorter? I'm now commuting to work everyday by airplane, it's a wonderful way to go!
