I put in an NPK Iridiuma a cpl years ago and it was worn right down??? Apparently I'm running really hot so to all you experts on these engines what do i need to do to correct this? Any and all advice is appreciated. Thx in advance everyone.

I have a different plug in now and she started just fine again this morning. I did the mod for ease of access to the plug so I will monitor it a lil closer and see whats going on in there.
Now to decide whether i put the insurance back on it or sell her. Undecided

I really wish there was an experienced mechanic in my area that knows these engines better for a good check over and piece of mind.

Thx for the link Boule'tard
