The unit is a AMT-180, fresh from the factory, I got several good starts out of it and last night for some unknown reason, it started burning out plugs. I went through six (6) before I ran out trying to get it to restart. Looking at the manual, it says to adjust the "glow" by lengthening or shortening the lead wire attached to the plug.
Since AMT USA does not have any EDTs to sell, don't ask me about that.
Has anyone else run into this before? I am headed to the hobby shop today to get more plugs so I can diagnose this by this weekend. I would like to maiden my Tam F-16 at that time, that is unless some other type of BS grounds me.

Hi Andy,
You can try annealing the plug before you pull the coils out. Just hook it to a nicad starter for maybe 10-15 seconds, this can help.
Also, I don't know what plug you are using now, but NovaRossis can take a lot of voltage, I would suggest a NovaRossi 9, I run those up to 2.7 volts, they might survive your high voltage ECU.
Hope that helps,
Thanks Matt, I will try that.
