Default gas plug conversion for .40

Easy enough to do, but more trouble than it's worth, costs abot $150....
The carb gets really touchy....Just as messy as a glow engine, you use the same amount of oil in the fuel...

The four stroke glow engines adapt real well to ignition but to still use glow fuel. They are really nice running. The ones I've been around were in the 90 and 120 size. It still cost $150.

Enjoy,

Jim

A .40 is sorta small for conversion, unless you have a special need.
The parts can be found at www.ch-ignitions.com
