Right now I am running it on 100 octane low lead aircraft fuel mixed 10-1 with Marvel mystery oil. It is firing 24 to 28 times a minute, spinning 32-34 revolutions between firing and the highest temperature anywhere on the engine 90-92 degrees after an hour of running. The head at the base of the spark plug is just 85 degrees. The plug is not fouling with my clearly too oily mixture.

Interesting to hear you are running it on 100LL Avgas Gil, i'd be more worried about lead fouling the plug than oil. Most aircraft engines are run above idle to prevent this from happening so it will be interesting to see if it has any effect on your engine since i imagine the combustion temps will be quite low.
Your nose is before your eyes, so trust it first!
