Hi!
Anyone tried to convert a glow engine to a "gasser"? Just engines sells a CDI system with a glow plug thread spark plug. If this works well, it can cut fuel costs significant! Also reduce on board fuel weight. But I'm a little concerned about the carb. Maybe it will need some modifications? And what about the bushings in the con.rod?

My Feedback: (16)
The original carb needle adjustment will be very sensitive
The original rod will work OK if you run oil 16:1 or richer
Engine will run a little hotter and will not have as much power as before
There is another brand called C-H Ignitions

This has been largely discussed over the Engine Conversions forum

Yep, I have three threads in engine conversions as Francisco says above.
