I've been working with glow engines since my first Thimbledrone .049 in 1976 at the age of 10 and have owned countless engines since. So I think that I may know a little about glow engines. As I stated early on I've never seen this issue before in any of my model engines either 2 cycle or 4 cycle and was simply looking for positive assistance from fellow modelers as we all hit "road blocks" in our thought processes from time to time.

Thanks to everyone who has been helping me get past my "road block".
