ORIGINAL: elmshoot

I have had success by connecting the Glow plugs in series using a 3V power supply. I run a wire between the engines and connect the positive to one glow plug post and the negative on the other engines glow plug post. Will the twin sync support that system for glow plug ignition?

Sparky
The instruction state a limit of 2.0v. for each driver.
Also, running 2 glows in series will result in burning one out, then the other, at the worst moment!

Just like you, I too had success with them in series.....however, such WILL fail eventually!!!

Besides that, a 1.2v. NiCad at full charge should be around 1.65v., more than enough for each glow plug. Just run 2 batteries in parallel for longer usage between charges.
