i am confused about my mower i have a husqvarna riding mower and its a bout 4 years old and it ran good for about 3 years and then last year it started foulin plugs like crazy like every time i mowed so i put a new air filter on it and it would be fine for about an hour then it would foul the plugs again. we have put a new carb in it and a high altitude jet and it runs better but still fouls plugs evey like 2 hours . my grandad checked the timing and all of thats right so now i dont no wat to do... it will run fine without a airfilter but if u put on on it it just fouls more plugs even with new filters.... so anyone have any ideas

I had a older rider & had that problem i got a air filter that was a close fit because I could not find the original & pulled it in half it work a lot better. But you can not do this with all the filters you have to find a 2 stage

Is it burning any oil?

Which 450?

what about the air filter cover? is it possible to run it with the air filter but no cover? maybe the cover is restrictive?

the filter is a round paper one and it has a foam thing that goes over it and i took it off but it didnt help and i also took the air box lid off but it didnt help very much im not sure about the burning oil thing i dont think it is i dont notice it getin any lower

Which 450?

What kind of engine is on it? I would try OEM plugs, maybe aftermarkets are fouling easily?
