Default RE: Super Bee Burnt Glow plug


ORIGINAL: gchdavid

I just went through 3 MC-9's right now. The glow power recommendation for that plug is 24-28, the last two burnt out at 19 power...something is up. They don't burn up in free air during the glow test, they only burn up when a start happens.

I don't know if it matters but I do have a 24'' multiplex extension between the engine and the ECU due to location.

I don't know what kind of turbine you have but I seem to recall that with some, the voltage setting is higher with a lower ECU value. I would at least double check and/or experiment.

Also, have you changed battery types? I had a similar problem a while back when I switched from nicads to Nimh. Same voltage but the lower resistance of the Nimh would blow the plug on the first start. Had to lower the voltage value.
