I know it sounds weird. But it's a try that doesn't cost you anything. Probably worth to try...

No I haven't a chance yet. I've been laying hardwood flooring and it snowed a ton on Saturday.

Ouch, snow isn't what I like.

We have catastrophic weather in Europe too

How about the obvious solution: using a hotter plug that burns soot and oil away?

Because using a hotter plug is usually a band-aid solution to another problem. It can even cause other undesirable issues like holed pistons etc. I'd be changing oils and fuels like Doc said. Cheap and easy test. Oil companies can change manufacturing techniques/ingredients/facilities and not tell you a thing either. I haven't found a 2T that needs to run 98RON+ in all my years as a mechanic either. They just aren't high comp like most 4T's are. 95RON is as high as I run and that is just to steer away from ethanol based fuel.
If after changing fuel/oil doesn't solve the issue check the choke jet in the carb is nice and tight. It should be pressed in to the body but if it is loose it may allow extra fuel to bypass.

1. Many ideas pointing blame at the fuel, oil, mixture, float height, choke, etc... But what about an electrical issue causing a weak spark?

If you fit a new spark plug into the cap, do you get a nice juicy spark?

Using a multimeter check for good continuity on zero volt/earth side, good connection between the engine to frame to zero/earth of ignition coil.

2. What oil are you using to oil your air filter? Make sure you're not putting too much oil on the air filter. I've never had any problems fouling a spark plug... until I recently over did it with the air filter oil!

Best of luck, Dave.

Well I drained the gas and put in fresh gas from the same station and mixed it with Amsoil Dominator at 50:1. Put a fresh plug BR8EIX in. It started right away but that was expected. Going for a ride tonight and we'll see how it starts up tomorrow morning on a cold start.
