<DIV>Forgot to mention, I tried Tetra, MK and Hangar 9 ends on the glow
plug end. None of them lasted very long with a soft mount. What has
lasted is a small alligator clip from Radio Shack with a piece of large fuel
tubing over it to keep it from shorting on the head. Sometimes low tech
is best. </DIV>

<DIV>Ran into this with a Mintor head on an OS 140RX. I found removing
the anodizing from the seat of the plug hole, where the plug washer sits was
also necessary. Check for a good ground from your engine lug through the
ground wire to your jack in the plane. I was using a Hangar 9 set up and
found the ground wire had a great deal of resistance so I replaced it. </DIV>
