It would be less expensive to just convert to CDI and continue to use glow. You get more power and longer run times. Go to the Saito thread, tons of info there, and a real CDI fanatic roams there.

Hi,
What I have been told is that the Compression ratio has to be dropped from 14 to 1 down to 8.5 to 9 to 1 by shimming under the barrel. When I have the Comp ratio correct I will try an OS 4 stroke glow plug .If that does not work I will get an ignition unit(excell).
