[NSRCA-discussion] Mintor Head for Remote Glow

[MARTIN, Neil]

Hi Tim,
 
Do you have any anodising in the glow plug threads in the head?  If not
then you might find there is electrical conductivity between the
glow-plug threads (in the head) and therefore connecting to the top of
each glow plug would give a closed circuit. 
 
Cheers,
Neil M.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Mintor Head for Remote Glow



I'm running a Mintor 1.70, and am thinking of installing a remote glow
igniter to simplify starting.  However, I'm not sure exactly how to go
about removing the anodizing from the head to permit the closed circuit.
Upon inspection, it seems the only portion of the head which touches the
rest of the cylinder seems to be the inner ring which sits on the
cylinder/head shim. Should this be the anodizing area I should polish,
and if so, what is the best way to go about it? I know if I was
polishing the bottom of the cylinder head, I'd use fine wet sandpaper,
oil, and a piece of glass.

A related question to the recent 1.40 thread - what bigger prop, if any,
have people experimented with for the 1.70. And what 3-blade?

Thanks,

Tim Pascoe
