Ralph: Yes I have tried gas glow....but not with the good running you guys are getting. Very good starts...but almost aways it runs backwards. On Idle my Hommie shook like a paint shaker. Good running on top end. I will try a echo next. My Hommie is not a good canidate. I did run the Hommie 25cc on strait glow fuel years ago. Mayby 8 or so. Very powerfull and a hand killer. I must get the best set-up for(from AV8tor) when I do the Echo. Best regards Capt,n Note...Look for the engine with tiny glow plug, with long studs in backplate
