If an engine has a lot of fuel in it and it is turned over by a hand held starter, is it possible to damage a glow plug? I just got a Sportwerks Mayhem with a 26C in it. I have gone through 8 glow plugs in two days. A good amount of these look like the coils in the glow plug have been damaged. I know that a few times the fuel has been pretty heavy in the engine while trying to start it.
