[Mgs] one cylinder plug fouled

[Hans Duinhoven]

This is exactly indicating the failing cylinder.
When the revs of the engine change when pulling a plug, this means, at least 
the spark plug is functioning and provides a spark for burning the fuel 
mixture.

Idea can be as described in my engine overhaul story - lots of room in the 
valve guide, giving oil the chance to pass to the combustion room. When 
burning lots of oil, this caused in my engine lots of fauling.

Cheers,

Hans
