Fouling plugs is one sign of low compression and not just a carb/fuel issue. Get a good compression reading and that will tell you where you stand. If it's 100 psi or lower that could be the problem on hard starting and plug fouling.

Also on the two strokes it's best to turn the fuel valve off after use. You can have fuel dumped into the cylinder and will foul plugs also if the carb needle and seat are worn.
