Yes. I think it is caused by Walmart stove fuel. Tried acetone and it didn't foul the plug or blow black smoke.
 
Good! I use Coleman camp fuel. I have never fouled the plug or changes the carburetor setting in several years. Running approximately three full days per year.
 
I've noticed Walmart sells fuel called Crown. I wonder if it is clean burning? All my Duclos engines run fine on Walmart fuel, but the Farmboy doesn't. Possibly it is the smaller fuel opening. Big difference in price between Coleman and Crown.
 
I started a second Farm Boy. After getting the right fuel my first one runs great. Made the gears. Pretty easy.
