Ah, funny thing happens here.
The resistance of the spark gap goes way up when the
pressure goes up.
Now, consider what happens when there is some oil,
which is usually an insulator, on the ceramic of the
sparkplug to allow the accumulation of carbon
deposits,......... which makes,....... A RESISTOR!!!
on the surface of the ceramic sparkplug insulator that
shorts SOME of the available voltage to ground.
Then, too, if its not getting a good enough spark it
will seem to be running rich which will make more
carbon, which will make it run worse, which will make
it run richer,..........
