Jeff,

It sounds like that the internal battery is on it's way out or at
least one of the cells. I had the same problem. The LED's would
light up but there wasn't enough power going to the plug to burn
off the oil accumulated in the bottom ( inverted engine ).
Since these are not standard size batteries I could not find
replacements easy enough and attached an external pack ( 4.8V
flight pack ) to the bottom of the driver with an external plug for the
battery. Use an older flight-pack that you don't trust to power the
airborne anymore. This way you can fast charge the battery from
a 12 volt fast charger if you have to or just plug in an other battery.

  I am having something funny going on with my radio south Pro Driver (The
yellow one.)  When the engine is cold (first start of the day) on any engine
The driver does not seem to get the plug hot enough to start, if I use a
different glow driver the engine starts right up.  Once the first start is
done, my pro driver works fine for every additional start for the day.  Does
anyone have any ideas what could be causing this and how I can make it not
happen?
