RE: Testing the new NV (Norvel) .40 size (6.5cc) gasoline glow engine
Sounds like a good alternative to ignition. I wonder if the plug is merely a hot Turbo plug. I think it is an M8 x .75mm pitch thread. I hope Norvel sells the plugs seperately for more experiments. Some guys were running combinations of methanol and gas in the weedwacker conversions to do away with the weight of the ignition. I think the last I read, it was 1/3 glow fuel to 2/3 gas.The rods on the bigger motors have ball/roller bearings.They used a spark plug adapter to a glow plug. It is in this website in the conversion forum. gas to glow. There were a couple of guys did a lot of testing. I think a carb would need a shallower taper onthe idle needleto idle properly with the gas. I have a bunch of Norvels, It looks like one more for the pile when it comes out. Most of their stuff is pretty good.
