I think you need to calm down a bit. Unfortunately what you are going through is not all that uncommon for an old 2 stroke.

If the plugs are wet, that means you are getting TOO much fuel at least when starting. Try not using the choke. If the plugs continue to foul beyond a 100 mile or so break-in then your mixture is too rich all the time.

First you need to find out what the proper mix ratio is. Like somebody else said, that probably should be a little heavier during break-in though.

Second, you need to get some new plugs. They will take only so much abuse (carbon fouling or swimming in gas) before they fail..........and sometimes they will fail IN the engine but look perfectly OK when OUT.

Many folks continue to run old 2 strokes that are in questionable condition by just changing the plugs every few days.

Have you talked to the engine rebuilder about all of this?
If not, why not? You SHOULD.
