If managed to burn through 2 plugs in a few days, never had this problem before. With the top on, my temps were about 250. That was 2 days ago after I replaced one plug. Today I was drivin with no top and temps were low enough for my spit to not even really boil away on the top of the head and it burnt my Os plug, I'm pretty sure it's my plug cuz now it won't even fire wen I try to start. Wen I get home ill pull the plug and look but what else can cause a plug to foul other then temps?
 
A plug that isn't hot enough could also cause it to foul as well as a rich mixture. Unfortunately, glow plugs are kind of like nitro engines: some will last for 10 gallons and some will last for 10 seconds.

Everybody here @ S&E Raceway run "MERLIN GLOW" plugs.:first_place: Not only do they last ,but they make the nitro motors run well.:D
