Russell,  I tried the Bosch11027 about a year ago. It fouled quickly and I had the same kind of symptoms as you.  I replaced it with a Bosch 12013, single wire, which has functioned okay so far.  Using mogas only so far.
Regards,
Tommy<><

Greetings,
 
I haven't had a chance to do anything else with my O2 testing, but I've had an odd thought. 
 
The full story, is that I originally had erratic O2 readings with the rev-2 configuration.  Primarily, this was staying on the mid, to low end of the scale, but would then just go away completely, as if it was way too lean.   I had used the same sensor I used before, but now had the EM-2, rather than my old mixture gauge.  It didn't take long before I noticed that the O2 sensor was falling apart, so it was replaced with the Bosch 11027 sensor that several of you are using.  On the next run, the EM-2 read almost full scale, and I couldn't do much to change it with the mixture knob.  I could hear the engine getting richer and leaner, but the reading stayed near full scale.  The only time it would change was when I leaned so much that the engine was starting to cut out, then it would plunge to nearly zero.
