Status: offline 		Hello,

I just find a Fuji .049 glow engine of the '60 that was from my father. Can someone tell me what glow plug i need? At this moment it runs with a Rossi R1 and 10% Nitro, but doesn't reach maximal RPM.

thanks,

[LV-E17_2]

Do not even try an idle bar plug. Try a Fox Short Standard plug. Also remember some of the older engines were not power houses like we have today. If they turned 8 to 9 thousand RPM it was great. Also what fuel are you using as 10% nitro is not enough for top performance. Later, DOC Holliday
