Show me a cold engine that starts itself and I'll show you a plane that doesn't need a pilot!

Well, the OP could always convert his engine to diesel. Then he would not need the glow driver.

Sometimes, especially if you do not set the conditions to have emails sent when a response is written, we old guys forget we wrote something. Or at least we forget where we wrote it. And if the number of responses is low enough that the thread doesn't show on the most active list then we feel that no one answered. I've done it before, haven't some of you? In fact, I may never look at this thread again so thanks in advance to anyone who responds to my post.

I have on occasion forgot what forum I may have posted in but never forgot where I asked a question, Also any forum where I post I tend to check on a frequent basis.
