try cleaning them with gasoline and a fine wire brush... but as for is it bad plugs not burning the fuel, or too much fuel fouling the plugs your kind of talking the chicken or the egg, hard to say, but if your fuel pump is flowing 4x the recommended rate that sounds suspicious to me

you should look into the tank and see if your tank has any signs of rust, other than that it sounds like a mixture problem, prob got your jets clogged up, i had that prob at low rpms, they told me my tank lining had worn out and it was clogging the idle jets, your problem might be the other jets.

Re: need the xperts help again
sean yours actually takes the CR9E's which are 4.20$ retail, kwth8n's CR9E-H9s retail for $8.60 so 8.99 is normal... i probably have a new set laying around my garage left over from my F3, but i don't think it would be worth the drive
