Best way to clean fouled plugs
 
I usually spray them with carb cleaner or quick start then blow them out with lots of air, anyone have a better method?

This set was new & got a little wet when I had some starting issues one day, just came acoss them & they don't look that bad, so I thot I'd try to save them. The only fouled plugs I've ever cleaned was in snowmobiles years ago & the Quick Start usually did the trick. :wink:

I have always just used some emery cloth to buff them up.

i like using the sand blast cabinet works,, or heat them up with a propane torch will burn off the carbon and dry them out..
