Default Foulin' Spark Plugs

Any tips on how to make my Banshee not foul plugs so quickly? I'm running Yamalube at the factory suggeted ration of 24:1 and can't get much more than 1 weekend out of NGK plugs. Any tips would be appreciated.

Switch to a synthetic oil and use the oil manufacturers recommended ratio.

Try running plugs which are one heat range hotter, if you want to keep running the richer mixture.

Dont switch plugs.

1. Get of yamalube
2. DEFFINETLY switch to 32:1 or 40:1
3. Now get the jetting dialed in

you shouldn't foul any more

By any chance is it spitting oil out the silencer?

they are right about switching to 32:1, but u also should switch to a champian plug. champians are much better plugs, in my experience. u might also want to use a hotter plug, NOT NGK
