I recently bought an f7 sabercat. When I start my sleds I always let them warm up to temp to help avoid fouling plugs, but this year I have killed 2 sets! has anyone had this problem with the f7?

P.S. this is the first fuely I've owned ;)

How long are letting it warm up for ? Thats probably one of the quickest ways to foul a plug.

how long are you idling?, if i remember correctly in the manual for my 93 ext.mc.550 efi, it says to idle it till the rpms drop, that only takes a couple of minutes depending on how cold it is,you should check your owners manual to see how long to idle it,if your not idling it to long.,maybe your oil pump is out of adjustment? just a few thoughts,(peace)

I bought a F7 also. Performed GLS heat cylce break-in procedure posted on Amsnow and HCS. Warmed it up to temp several times and never fouled a plug. Something doesn't sound right there.

Did somebody put too much pre-mix in the tank? I bet it's oil fouling.
