Default RE: Super Bee Burnt Glow plug

Hello,

The test was with a MC-9 as recommended. The glow value was 18 and it would barely even light up during the free air test. The Glow setting was left the same, I put the glow plug back in its place and I attempted a start, it started the propane, I shut down and pulled the Glow plug out and it was melted away again. Obviously, as its burning out it lights the gas but why at such a low setting? during the test, it wasnt enough glow to light the gas so why did it burn out in the turbine?

I's starting to think that the Multiplex extension I installed might be crossing starter power into the glow plug, its the only explanation I have that could cause this.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Chris

p.s. I am at work, I will go get the serial number tonight.
