Richard, it's not that the plugs get carboned up with 100LL, they may
get lead fouled. If a person idles the engine during the entire time
they taxi in from landing (at a larger airport), the cylinders are
allowed to cool enough so that the lead will deposit on the plugs and on
the valves. Keeping the rpm's up around 1100 will keep the temps up so
the lead remains in solution and will pass out of the engine rather than
forming deposits.

My Coupe will arrive today and with all the discussion on fuel I was
wondering how many folks use Mogas (alcohol free) rather than 100LL.
Any problems with 100LL aside from the plugs getting carboned up?
