Default RE: Variable current for glow Plug?
They're normally switched. I can hear mine (Hobbico Accuglow) make a buzzing noise.

Try this:

BTW, the resistance of a glow plug gets higher as it gets hot. May have an impact...

The new Hobbico Accuglow II also has a charger you can clip your C Cell glow ignitor on to. Very convienient. Hard to beat the price with a home brew setup.
