Norvel glow plug
I just came from my local hobby shop, he had a single Norvel #101005 glow plug in stock. I own a couple of Norvel .061 bigmigs and a couple of .074 engines but neither can use this plug. I'm curious as to what this glow plug was used on. Mike

RE: Norvel glow plug
The very early NORVELs shipped with a different plug that had a colder heat range and required more voltage than the typical nicad glow starter provided. In response, NORVEL introduced the Freedom XL plugs that were hotter and that would provide sufficient heat with a nicad. These plugs did require a different head button.
I suspect that the plug is one of the early offerings and your engines have buttons for the Freedom plugs.

RE: Norvel glow plug
You would probably be better off to use one of the NORVEL replacement plugsor choose an adapter head that accepts either a NELSON plug or a turboplug. The Galbreath head/NELSON plughas proven to be an excellent combination. Adapter heads that use standard plugs have performed poorly in many of the NORVEL and COX engines.

RE: Norvel glow plug
minan59,
Your Norvel #101005 glow plug is indeed a "pre-Freedon" plug. The later Freedom plugs are part #110138
Andrew's advice is sound. Go with a Galbreath head / Nelson plug and you won't need to look back...
