Default RE: Glow Plugs?

Hi Folks,

Like most I have used Fox (yeah I'm an old fart), Enya and OS plugs for years with the occassional Taipan for a bit of comic relief.

Is it just me? Lately I have found the newer OS plugs have a much shorter life than I was used to so I have reverted to Enya and Taipan exclusively with good results. Maybe OS are using coated platinum wire in the coils now?

winger 1955 I would use a hot plug in the TT for running in if it is a new motor (any metal particles in a new motor will lunch the plug) and then revert to the OS 8 or equilavent. Don't be afraid to experiment. I have an old motor that has to have a plug with an idle bar to function properly and a Fox 35 control line motor inverted in a Nobler that still runs well and must be thirty years old.

Cheers,

Colin
