Greg, you are still runing glow fuel arn't you? I would be interested in the modification you did to allow the valve train execee into the intake. It wasn't obvious from the photos.

One of our guys has an O.S FT300 on ignition using glow fuel. His is an older setup using a mechanical advance and that gives him a bit of problems, but when it is in the grove, it ia a great running enginge.

From what I have read, and what I saw with our guy's Ft300, the only down side is see is the RFI from the spark. Seeing that the gassers handle this with a little common sense, I think the glow to ignition sould be a good conversion.

By the way, have you looked at the carb stack off the O.S 56" I'm running one on my O.S 52 now and it is doing a great job of keeping the cowl clean. The performance is also imporved. I'm cranking a Zintler (sp) 12x6 wood at 10800, off peak by 400rpm. I can idle at 2400 without problems, but the idea of a 2K idle or less and good performance has me still thinking.
