What type of fouling do you have? Oil, carbon, antifreeze? Those are the usual suspects. If it's oil and they foul often then you got oil rings going bad. Antifreeze = head gasket about to blow completely out or head bolts backed out. Carbon = too rich somewhere in the rev band. While it's best to have carbon fouling (too rich) that's often the hardest to correct. A dynotune with a sniffer is sometimes needed.

check the choke operation to be fully open. i don't have the problem. do you use a k&n, maybe too much oil. are the plugs uniform in color/fowling. how many miles on them before you remove and see fowling.

I agree that a overly oiled air filter is just as bad as a dirty airfilter; requiring the carbs to work harder...imagine drinking a fresh thick milkshake and you cannot get it thru the straw...now after it melts it is easier...like a excessively oiled air filter and a properly oiled air filter..get it?? or the choke could cause the same symptoms
