When I got my first Norvel engines, only the .15 was Revlite, the others were not. You will find that the 1.0 is only ink and will come off the first time you use the engine. Since I had 1.0 (.061) and 0.8 (.049) engines, I scratched the size in the aluminum.

Norvel had some trouble with the older glow plug and went to their "Freedom" plug. The heads must match the plug. If you have the older plug and get a new one, you will need the newer head. The newer head was made to accept a standard glow driver, so if a glow driver fits, you probably have the newer one. I THINK the older plug required more current to work.

It is/was an excellent engine. Good luck with it.

Norvel (Russian made) used 2 volt plugs as do many european engines as the 2 volt lead acid cells were the commonly used starter batteries. This caused many engine starting problems when the Norvel .061 and ilk became common here in the US. Now most of the engines delivered state side have the 1.2 volt plugs although not interchangeable with the common 1/4-32 threaded plugs in normal use.
