speaking of glow plugs...
.
im having a bit of trouble getting this new 777 running correctly. looking like a couple cylinders are not firing (staying cold, spark plug clean/shiny). SO...i am thinking of putting a glow plug or two in the problematic cylinders to see if it cures the problem - testing for ignition problems.
.
i have no 'glow' equipment, so im wondering if i can just use a duracell D to run the glow plug(s) on the stand? the manual says the plugs take 1.2v, but the D cell is 1.5v - will that burn the plug(s) out? can i just hook the D cell straight across the plug(s) without any additional circuitry?
