[NSRCA-discussion] Remote Glow Trouble

[Karl G. Mueller]

Remote Glow TroubleTim,
 With the engine parts being anodized I thing it would be best to have the
negative connected to one of the head bolts. Use a small full circle solder
connector to solder to the neg. wire and cover with shrinkwrap. Use a small
lockwasher under the connector which will pierce through the anodizing
and should make good contact.

  Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Remote Glow Trouble


  I recently put a remote glow system on my Mintor 1.70, but haven't yet
managed to get it to work. Following some suggestions from the list, I
carefully removed the anodizing on the inside of the head, where it seats on
the rim of the sleeve. I'm getting a closed circuit, according to my
igniter, but apparently the current is not high enough to get the plug hot
enough to start the engine. I used fairly heavy silicone wrapped wire
(similar to that used for RC Car batteries), and I'm wondering if perhaps
this is causing too much resistance? The remote is grounded on a mounting
bolt of the engine. 'm using an older Radio South Pro-Driver MKII, and get 4
lights when the remote is connected. Can I boost the power to the plug
somehow? Or should I change another part of the installation? It uses a
specially machined collar to lock on the glow plug tip with set screws, and
a standard 2.5mm power jack through the fuse side.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks,

  Tim Pascoe
