Hi Dennis.

At the moment I don't intend to run any "on-board" glow..............I beleive that the FA 200 R3 has been slightly "re-enginered" from the FA 170 R3,having more cc and more power ( depending on your choice of fuel used,this will also add more power )According to their "instructions" any on-board glow system is not required !!!
I have a "back-up" plan in mind,should the need arise.........there is a manufacturer here in the UK that does some great on-board glow systems for singles all the way up to multi's.....a sort of modular system that you can add to for the use in multi's.Their system monitors the temperature of the "glow" plug ( I assume by somehow measuring the current being taken by the plug ie: resistance varies with temperature )........this system keeps the plug at the optimum temperature for operation and hence protects from "plug burn out".

Can post a link if you are interested?

Cheers..............Nick
