If you really want to test a spark plug you need a tester like this. It is used to test and document aviation plugs. No offense but the box the guy sent taryl is just a spark box. Actually kinda useless an it doesn't test plug under compression.

$1865 to test spark plugs?
Taryl's fixed 5 out of 5 of his old fouled out plugs. I'm not sure what compression has to do with the way the plug sparks.

Not to make this a TLDR. Aircraft spark plugs are very expensive.

When doing aircraft annual inspection the plugs have to be tested and documented and the champion machine is what you would use. Overkill for a mower shop where you just change a $2 plug if there is any question vs $$$ to change aircraft plugs.
Plugs that work in air may misfire under compression.

sounds more like the wrong plug is installed if it's misfiring under compression...Not to make this a TLDR. Aircraft spark plugs are very expensive.

I don't necessarily disagree, but for how long. He could have/should have done a bit more of a study. My issue is that he had his finger on the answer all along . . .
