RE: Plug temperature

The question was; “Is there a hotter glow-plug than the Merlin?” I was looking for a yes or no answer and a brand name if the answer was yes. It appears that no one knows the answer.

Bob,

And it seems it is either that there isn't one, or that if there is such a plug, it is so rare that no-one knows about its existence...

The hottest glow-plug made in large numbers is the OS A3/#6...
A close second is the Enya #3, which has a desirable trait... It 'behaves' colder, when installed in mid-size engines.

The Novarrossi C-5S is also close...

I believe the [link=http://shop.vendio.com/RossiEnginesUSA/item/2019666765/index.html]Rossi R1[/link] may even be hotter than the Merlin, which I have never seen.

Most people have probably not heard of hotter glow-plugs, simply because no-one ever asked, or needed his/her plug to be any hotter...
...Until you came along, that is.[>:]
