hey arapoda, remember to always charge your glow igniter's up in advance to going out...IE the park. also your saying its hard to start. i have the same problem its due to the cold weather. all you have to do is prime the engine hold the glow igniter on the glow plug for 10-15 seconds and then spin her over (dont remove the glow igniter untill the engine is started). she should fire up straight away. it works for me so it should work for you. good luck

ORIGINAL: arapoda

I hate, hate, HATE the stupid glow plug igniter. Being as I am new to this and the car is brand new, it's taking me a while to actually get the car started (for a number of reasons, mostly trying to find the right setting for the carb). By the time I went to take the car out today for a proper run the damn glow plug igniter battery had run down (Before I take the car out anywhere, I always start it up in my garage to warm it up, etc).

Grr, frustrated!
