Default RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

Whoops. I meant parallel. Powering the plug with the nominal 1.2 volts. Just got through running a full tank of gas through the engine and I am still getting the same performance. I plan to fly the engine in the morning and will provide the results after I get home. I am still wondering what the down side is on this setup. It has to be the life of the plug. I will run the one I installed to failure to see how long it will last. Oh and one more thing, it likes to start backwards just like some of the 4 strokers and if you try to start it at anything above high idle it will bit you (ouch). I hand start it so an electric starter would solve that problem.

More tomorrow.
