Re: help with glow plug heating...

Hi there are glow plug adapters that are designed to light the glow plug,
these are designed to give the correct amount of charge to give a bright orange glow and they work very well. you can also get a control panel that pumps fuel and lights your glow plug as well as charging the plug adapters.

if your plug is not glowing bright orange then the eliment may have gone. if this is the case then you need to change it for a new one.

i have left some pics of plug lighters that you can use.
