my rotax 503 was fouling plugs in 1 cylender after only a couple rides on a 290 main jet, so i switched to a 280 and the plugs last longer but still eventualy foul. the moter was jeted for cold wethether and higher elevations im asuming since its out of a snowmobile. but what im wondering is if the moter is jeted richer for cold wether, i dont want to go to leen...

It should be jetted richer for colder weather.

Good call, check and see what pilot jet is there also. does it foul it out at idle, part throttle at W.O.T
pilot Jet and mixxer screw play the role at idle..Needle is your mid range and YOUR Main jet is  for W.O.T
