Default Fox Idle bar glow plug problems

I am just curious to know if any one else has had this problem, i have replaced 3 fox idlebar plugs now that the center around the pin has blown out... one on my magnum 45 pro, one on my asp 1.08 and another on my os 46 fx... I bought them at separate times at two different stores, so I dont think it is just a bad batch... Has anyone else had this happen??? The element dont break, you still get glow, just no compression, it all goes out the hole.

Sounds like you're running your motor's lean.... I'd chuck those idle bar plugs and get some K&B 1L's.... Great plug, cheap and reliable. The idle bar just robs performance and doesn't make up for a poorly tuned motor.
