Default RE: help on Satio twin

I have a 1.82 as well. It has 4 glow plugs don't worry about lighting all 4 plugs to start, 1 per cly will be fine. I use an E-Gass system (essentialy an electronic switch) it is no longer produced but there are other similar systems on the market. I run my plugs on 2 cells at 3.0 volts. You run one wire to one glow plug and the other wire to the other glow plug on the oppisite cly. Each plug is 1.5 Volts so running the plugs in series the 3.0 volts is spent between the two plugs. Now there will be several web sites that will discuss the pros and cons of plugs in series or parallel. I am telling you I am having success in the series setup I know my plugs are lit and working.


No help on the smoke but it would be an educated guess like most posters here would provide.
