You may want to try running the next hottest plug to see if that helps. If your fuel/oil mixture is correct, you shouldn't foul plugs that quickly. You can buy a carb rebuild kit for relatively cheap. If the motor is running, you probabaly don't need to rebuild it. The biggest problem with 2 stroke outboard carbs is that people let the fuel sit in them too long. The gas evaps out, but the oil does not, and will eventually gum up your jet/pilot. A good carb cleaning may be all that is needed to get it back to top form. I think I'd attack the carb before going to a hotter plug. Perhaps Danzilla will chime in with a thought or two.
