Default RE: glow starter

No, I didnt explain correctly,, I have several cox and norvel engines,,and many glow heads norvel and cox,, on some of the norvel heads there is a large round ball on others there is a much smaller flat topped piece,,, the height difference is enough the the glow starter (dubro) touches one but not the other or the actual head is a smaller diameter and the glow starter wont fit down in the hole,,I have seen the glow clip made from an actual clothespin( I think its in the SPAD forum), and I have the cox glow clip but no battery for it,, I know there is an adapter to use a dubro type glow starter and hook a fake glow plug in it that inturn powers the cox glow clip, ...so depending on what engine I use, I sometimes have to put a cox head on a norvel engine so I can use the glow starter I have with me so the engine runs,,,right now, my glow starter works on my .061, but not on my .049 because of the different glow heads.,,so I am asking if anyone has ground off a bit of the dubro starter to use with the smaller glow heads...hope that clears things up......Tim,,I'll show you at the fly in.....Rog
