just a thought all the talk of modern petrol and its effect on insulators in modern plugs has anyone tried cleaning them in an ultrasonic tank and then drying.

Probably it's the fact that the insulators are not glazed that causes the problem, not so much mucky as it get wet and takes in the petrol mixture and any conductive additives ( I have no knowledge that any additives are conductive, but you get the point), end result no spark.
I have an ultrasonic cleaner but no I've never tried it, interesting tho
