Premature plug "fouling" is often the result if theres excess oil (rings or valve guide problems, low compression) present or excess unburned fuel like carb set too rich or air restrictions (air cleaner or choke not full open etc.) and for NOT keeping the engine temperature up.
Things that can help are
1) To use shutters or thermostats etc TO GET N KEEP THE ENGINE OPERATING TEMPS AT 180 OR HIGHER
2) Dont run the carb richer then necessary (avoid excess black smoke out the stack)
3) Use HOTTER plugs and/or NON RESISTOR PLUGS
4) Use good quality wire core NOT carbon core suppressor plug wires
5) Keep the ignition well tuned for a good strong hot blue spark
