Well, I’m thinking of trying the gas/glow setup on my Poulan 42cc. I have a few questions though:
1. Will my Hot Shot 2 glow igniter that I use for all of my glow engines work? It twists and locks on to the glow plug. I want to make sure that I get a glow plug adapter that will allow the igniter to fit and lock on the plug properly. Is there any difference in the adapter from Horizon or from genebarton?
2. I’ll use an OS F plug. Should I expect it to foul out during the first break-in/tuning runs? If so, I can dig up some used plugs, mostly OS A3 plugs that still work, but don’t give optimal performance anymore. Would this be OK? I would hate to quickly foul several OS F plugs as that would be costly.
3. This engine currently runs great on magneto ignition with the stock 11.11mm carb and stock muffler. It tachs around 7700 rpm with an APC 18x8 wide prop. Should I open the needles any before trying to crank it on the gas/glow mix? I’ll try to find the 10/10 glow fuel and mix it 1/3glow to 2/3high test gas like AV8TOR and others keep recommending.
