This of course would assume that both the glow plugs are good. If you have a bad glow plug in one cylinder of a glow twin, that would be no different than a bad spark plug in a twin gas engine. You need to have good "plugs" in any engine, gas, glow, twin, or single cylinder. With one cylinder still running and turning the engine over on a twin, I would think relighting the out cylinder would be possible. Or dosen't it work this way?????
