Remote Glow Question

Thanks very much for the explanation, I'll try it out. JEZ
> I'm not Ed, but as a seller of these engines, I can answer.  The anodizing is 
> non-conductive so you need an electrical conductive path from the glow plug body 
> back to the ground side of your glow driver.  I found a two wire glow plug clip 
> at a hobby show a few years ago that had one wire for the center pin and another 
> for the glow plug body.  The clip was shaped like the end of a glow driver and 
> made contact with both parts of the plug.  
>    The lightweight clips people have been discussing on this list only connect 
> to the glow plug center pin.  The ground side of the connection consists of a 
> wire that connects to one of the engine mount screws.  The assumption is that 
> there is electrical conductivity from the engine mount lug to the glow plug 
> body.  For this to work at least one of the head mounting bolts must have a bolt 
> head seat that is not anodized and the glow plug seat must also be non-anodized.  
> The Mintor heads already have a non-anodized mount bolt seat, but you may want 
> to check if you continue to have problems.  
>    When removing the anodizing from the glow plug seat you need to be very 
> careful.  The glow plug needs to seat and seal so that it does not leak.  The 
> copper washer helps, but if the seat area becomes rough or distorted, it will be 
> too much for the copper washer to compensate for.  I used a dremel grinding bit 
> that was made of stone and had a flat tip.  It was small enough to fit into the 
> glow plug recess.  However, I mounted it in my variable speed drill, not my 
> dremel, so I could control the grinding and remove the absolute minimum of 
> material without causing any distortion.  All you want to do is remove the 
> anodizing and you don't even have to remove it completely. Just enough so that 
> their is electrical connection.
>   Believe me, it takes longer to read this than to do it.
