Hi everyone I’m having some problems with my bike

i thought is kept fouling the spark plugs because of a bad air/fuel mixture but i didn’t have time to fix it before i went away so i just bought a few plugs and thought that would keep me until i got back. And it did 2 times but after that i replaced the plug and with in minuets the bike wound't start it this caused by fouled plugs. Im starting to think it’s more that just a bad air/fuel

When i kick it sounds like there is no spark but i have checked and there defiantly is however when it was running every time i pined the throttle it bogged down a bit does this mean the valves need adjusting. Also does anyone know what plug this takes because im not 100% sure it’s a Husqvarna 350 Te 4 stroke the plug i have is NGK CR7E. ALL help is appreciated

define 'fould plugs' - are they wet with oil or just blackened/greyed/whatever?
What you are describing could be an electrica component breaking down, or an oil leak into the cylinder etc etc.

It might help if you put up some high resolution photos of the spark plugs that have been fouled - many people on here can 'read' a plug and tell you where your problem lies just by seeing the plug
