My glow plug looks good but the engine doesn’t start, why?
Sometimes the wire looks good but it is broken. To know it check the condition of the glow plug by taking it out of the engine and applying a glow plug driver to it. The coils of the spiral wire should glow a bright orange-white.If the glow plug wire does not glow, check the battery in the glow plug driver by testing a new glow plug. If the glow plug driver cannot cause the wire on a new glow plug to glow brightly, replace the battery. Broken glow plugs are typically caused by running the engine too lean. Always unscrew the main needle setting after you have experienced a glow plug failure. [[Back To Top]] • What kind of fuel should I get?
