Default RE: LMH 117 No Start - HELP!

Mark,
I have a panel ready glow starter. I removed the plug from the engine and plugged it in. As it glowed, I operated the starter to make sure the glow plug was still glowing. I also tried putting my thumb over the intake to draw fuel from the tank. I also tried it at various throttle settings but still nothing. Could the incoming fuel be cooling down the plug enough to keep it from igniting the fuel. I don't want to turn up the glow setting too much and burn out the plug. With or without the starter turning, the meter shows the plug amps in the good range. I'm running a Vmax 7. Well, that's where I'm at. Thanks for your reply.

Rick
