Hmm seems no one could see the humor in my dumb little vidio concerning my opinion on the usefulness of power panels for new folks.
Power panels have been sold to unknowing new folks for many years and few bother to tell them there are first quite dangerous This particularly so if one uses two umbilical cords (one for glow ignition and one for starter) I have witnessed far two many accidents over the years using this combo. And in addition far to many new folks and even some experienced ones are tempted to increase the glow current when an engine is being cranky. Of course that results in a rather high cost of wasted burned out glow plugs.
Tom I am sure it works fine for you but agine just in my opinion I feel it best to get new (glow) folks started off with the type of side line equipment that most do usually end up using and is safer. The is no reason at all anymore to use any umbilicals for starting glow engines.
