Default Fouled Plugs

Help!
I have an 89 sportster 1200, put in new plugs and it runs great for about 20 miles, afterwards the plugs foul
and it spits etc. both plugs have a black powdery coating. any ideas? I am going to bring it in for service but I would like to have an idea of whats wrong... moved to a new area and not sure how the mechanics are so I'd to at least sound like I have an idea so I can avoid any potential fleecings=)


Thanks!!!!!1
