A compression test may reveal a problem.
I had a 61 220b which would foul the plug in one cylinder. I cannot remember now whether it was a fuel problem, or a ring problem. If you find good compression I would suspect an injector.

A spark plug gets hot when it is in use, of course, and then it starts to expand. If the core breaks down then when the plug expands a gap in the plug internals just begins to get worse until the spark can no longer jump the gap.
I am not talking about the plug gap that is set by you, I am talking about a gap inside the plug that is not supposed to be there. Like I said before, if you had an ignition analyzer with a scope on it you would be able to see all six plugs firing on the screen. If a plug was breaking down it would show a different pattern on the screen than the plugs that were firing. Hopefully this was it. Please let us know. |

There's no need for any electronics.
How did the business end of the plug appear-dry, wet, clean, dirty, or? |
