As has been said above, leaning aggressively for taxying and holding prevents the plugs from fowling. I've been doing it regularly and my plugs never have a build up of deposits on them.

BTW Lycoming recommend that leaning is carried out on their engines for take off when the density altitude is at or above 5,000ft. Turbo charged aircraft must always take off with mixture set to rich.
