My KR had problems with plugs fouling from an excessive rich mixture at mid range power settings. I didn't find the problem until I installed an oxygen sensor and mixture meter.

My tanks were filled with 100LL after the rebuild. My first flight after the rebuild was thirty minutes with a hiccup at 4000' in level flight approximately 15 minutes into the flight. The second flight was for 1.5 hours and had no problems. The flight yesterday was for 1/2 hour with three hiccups total. These hiccups are as if someont turned off the ignition for a half second each time.
