Boex: I would use a 1.2. As long as you use good wire and connections you should'nt have a problem. I kept the F plug but once you have on board glow the engine should be less sensitive to the plug type anyway. The plug only draws around 2 amps (so about 2+ watts of heat) so relative to the engine heat, this is nothing. The only pain is that you have to charge the battery. If it works for you, I believe there are products out there to let you use your 4.8 or 6v radio battery but then you risk using the radio's power too much. There is general comments from this thread that the G2300 gets better and more reliable with age (slow burn in). Once you get rid of the dead sticks and fly the thing, you may find after a while that the on board is'nt needed.


Ed:

You are way over my head buddy. Several very experienced guys from the club and I spent a lot of time with this engine and had all kinds of ideas resulting in some great performance improvements (many from this thread) with little or no impact on the sudden dead sticks. Another guy in the club had the same problem, same engine. After my experience, he adopted the on board glow early and it saved him a lot of money (and plane). So...after all that I guess we are just dummys because it was the fuel foaming after all! Mann we certainly did'nt think of that one. Thanks a bunch. Question though, would'nt the new carb and Perry pump have made some kind of difference to a fuel foaming problem? Why would adding an on board glow to the ignition component have helped a fuel problem?

Ed, after this experience, for $10, I plan on using on board glow any time I think it will help. I am building a twin right now. I've already decided it will have on board glow. I'm really sorry buddy but now I have the crutch I cant let go. I am really ashamed of myself......
