The winner is....no washers on plugs. What a dumbass mistake. They rarely fall off and o never thought to check. Too bad there is nobody to blame other than me.

<div>My exact thought too. It seems more likely that a set of projected
tip plugs were installed where there isn’t enough room for them.</div>

<div dir="ltr">The thing about the carbon hypothesis is that this is a twin, and
it's happening on both cylinders, sounds like both affected equally.
Doesn't seem like a random chunk of carbon causing the issue would occur equally
in both.

<div>It could be carbon floating around in the
combustion chamber but also consider that when the engine warms up expansion
might cause zero clearance between the ground side of the plug and the piston
or valve. Check to see what are the recommended plugs vs what are currently
installed. Also consider high RPM might play a role as well.

<p>The first thing that comes to mind is the piston contacting the ground
terminal of the plug. But if that were the case there would be noise, I
would think, and the starting would revert to terrible quickly. Perhaps
there is a piece of carbon floating around inside the cylinder that
occasionally gets pinched between the piston and the plug? I just can't
visualize anything else. If the head isn't to difficult to get to you might
pull it and check for something like that. Is that a flathead or an OHV
engine?</p>

question that’s kinda antique tractor related (depending on how you define
antique.) I have a 1992 Ingersoll 6018 with an Onan 16hp motor. It usually
starts and runs great. Last few weeks it’s been terrible to start but then
runs fine. I pulled the plugs today and the gap was close to nothing in both
of them. Opened the gap to.030 and it fired right up. Why would the plug gap
close? I had issues with them this spring and set it at that point.
