Depends on what's fouling them. If the plug is wet with gasoline, it's because there's no spark there to burn it off. Solution could be as simple as replacing the plugs and gapping them correctly. If it's fouled with a nasty oily sludge you've got oil seeping past your piston rings into the combustion chamber, which means either your rings or bores or both are pretty shot.
