running super rich, breaking sparkplugs, then won't run

2016 Axys, 1400 miles.

My machine is coated in black soot.
I have broken 2 sparkplugs, and fouled others.
Shop thought TPS needed adjustment, but didn't fix problem.
Fouled 2 more plugs Saturday and when replaced them, would barely run.
Seems like it is dumping way too much oil into piston.

Am I the only one? What gives?
 
Broken plugs......sounds like det. Stock sled?
Have you checked the crank phase?
Checked the timing? Physically, with light, not digital wrench.

Edit:
Im sure you checked all the simple things before posting, plug wires on the correct cylinder, EV valves opening..........

^^^ what he said. Only think I have ever seen break plugs is serious det. issues. Did the shop check your injectors? On an older cfi I have seen a tip crack and dump extra fuel, but doesn't explain the plugs breaking.

Both cylinders ?
Sounds way worse to me. To break spark plugs it's usually pieces of piston or ring that do that.
Check compression, asap!

Don't even waste your time....If it's broken spark plugs off...you need a warranty claim. That thing will have internal damage from the chunks of plug floating around - plus whatever caused that in the first place (usually detonation or other failed internal parts). They'll need to repair the damage and the root cause. Could be bad fuel, bad injector, bad programming, etc. It's not just too much oil to break off spark plugs.

I had a spark plug break also.1800 miles BD turbo, it was not DET. Can NKG have quality control problems also. After
seeing this thread I going to get some Champion plugs.
