Sorry, I didn't know how much or how little "sperience" you have, I should have asked. You're right about the 2.20 being a little intimidating, it swings a big board pretty hard. I've had my Davis Diesel Jumbo Chicken Stick removed from my hand more than once. I installed a CH ignition on my 2.20 but so far haven't been able to equal the glow plugs power.
