Hi All
Newbie first post time
I need a new glow plug for my Fun Factor ST2 with the NT16 engine.
The manual says use a short cold plug but doesn't give any further details like a code or part number.
The engine is fully run in and unmodified, I mainly use it for blasting about the park.
What type of glow plug should I buy ?
Cheers
Stoopid.

I have run anything from #8 os plugs to cheap macoy plug as well as tower plugs.. I have found that they all work well with the os being the best... the worst being the cen original plugs... sorry cen but they didn't last the day... anyway.. as long as they are cool short i never had any issues......

Thanks for the speedy replies [8D]
One thing I forgot to mention was that I'm running 16% fuel, does this make any difference ?

O.S. A-5's are what I use and recomend. They are cooler than the #8's and tolerate longer runs and harder runs better.
