Can this motor be used to troll at idle speed for long periods of time with out fouling plugs? Would like any suggestions to help keep plugs from fouling.

first I would set gap at .040 on plugs and make sure you are using the hottest plugs made for that motor and it should troll for extended periods with no problems.

I agree with REELSPORT I used to troll all day with 85 HP Johnson. We used a troll plate which allowed you to bring the idle up some which helped keep the plugs clean. I put new plugs in April and they were still good in July but I would change them before the start of fluke fishing in the sound.......

The plugs recommened for this motor are unable to be gapped because they just have a center electrode that sparks to the base.
