Yes it is Gas/Glow

That stuff is so awesome, or as my son would say Way Cool.

It's just about right for my Sullivan starter, at least until I get the carb dialed in.
I'm hopeing for a hand startable engine.

I had fuel delivery problems at first but finely hooked up to the right fuel tubing coming out of the tank.

I believe I need to raise the compression or use more Nitro,
I'm getting a fair amount of RPM drop when I remove the glow.

I believe the squish band was around .035. This leaves plenty of room, about .020, to remove from the bottom of the cylinders.
I kept the original rings matched to the original cylinders just to get it running.
I hope to raise the compression first, test and then replace the rings.

Gary will have his 42cc version going any day and it will be interesting to see the difference.

Another friend of mine Jack got his started yesterday on Gas/Glow but he wants to put on a CH-Ignition
that he already has.

So this week end should have lots of action.
