I recently fouled my plugs and trying to see what most likely would have caused it.
Not using oil, compression is 185-190 on the fresh bb kit and rebuilt head.
Kinda looking at 3 things:
I had ngk iridiums in an 8 heat range, put 7s in it now. Thought the small bump in compression would be ok but looks like they possibly weren’t hot enough because the idle on the 7s is already much smoother then before.
Alba fuel programmer is on the rich side maybe, however I ran it all summer and early spring in varying temps without issue just a strong fuel smell but figured it was normal since the efi is so basic and exhaust has no cat.
The tbap sensor, thinking of just replacing it to simply eliminate it from the list. There aren’t any trouble codes thrown but didn’t know if it will throw one or not if it’s giving wacky readings or going into a default mode and running really rich.
