I have a 4-stroke Saito twin and I know there has to be an easy way to light both glow plugs than using 2 Hot Shots. I have seen remote lighters and was wondering if anybody out there could tell me where to find a better way to light up the glow plugs on a twin 4-stroke.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

you can make your own but there is far less hassle in just buying two and then splicing them together, the hitch pin type seam to last a good bit longer then the 'lock on' type, at least on my helis

In thinking about this I am wondering about powering 2 glow plugs from a single source? Wouldn't you need twice the power to properly heat them? ie... 3 volts vs 1.5 volts for a single?

you dont need twice the volts for twice the plugs 1.5 will drive both plugs your hot shot will drain faster is all, double the voltage and you will burn your plugs. sullivan products makes a inexpensive remote glow its the one I use on my planes that are cowled they have a locking cap are a simple and reliable fix if you are looking for problems rig something up that is not tested and wing it. when I go to the field I want to fly not work on making sure some wire is on properly.

Check out SuperGlo at www.maxxprod.com. They make one for singles and one for twins. I have a couple of them, very reliable.
