JAKA, surely you can't be suggesting that he connect a 12 volt battery directly to his glow plug as your post suggests. The plug would vaporize immediately. I strongly suggest you get to a model field where there experienced modelers available to assist. I am sure they will have all of the do-dads to loan you in getting the motor started. Once running, you will be able to better proceed on your own. Do you have a club in your area or do you even know how to find one?
