Let me just add to Marks comment about plugs shorting out. He said chemical cleaners will not clean the insulators back to a pure state.

He mentioned that a sandblasting is the only way to clean them. He partly correct. Sandblasting would clean the insulators IF YOU COULD CLEAN ALL OF THE INSULATOR. This is impossible to do on a sparkplug. It may look clean but, you can not clean ALL of it.

This is especially true of plugs that are "gas fouled" from having too rich of a mixture. I have expermented quite extensively on this. I have a spark plug testing machine that tests them under pressure.

Bottom line is: put new plugs in, most fouled plugs cannot be saved. Seif.
