<DIV><FONT size=2>Quick test:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Use a temporary jumper from the base of the glow plug to
the bolt you have the ground anchored to. You can't fly with this
jumper wire in place, but if it allows the engine to start, then the anodizing
is still a problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The wire guage used in RC car batteries should be more than
adequate for the application.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Also check to see that the collar you screwed onto the glow
plug is not shorting to the base (nut section) of the plug.... You should be
able to slide a playing card between the collar and the top of the main body of
the plug. The wire lengths plus the jack may give enough resistance to
have the glow driver indicate an OK cicuit (no short) even if the plug is
shorted...</FONT></DIV>
