Glow plug recommendations

[Gee]

Thanks. I stopped at the auto parts store and grabbed a tube of it. Ended up with the Ultra, the color stood out more and well I was in a hurry to get to the hobby shop. The nitro is fun but I need to get my hand slapped when ever I reach for the tuning screwdriver. Had the truggy tuned pretty good when I put it up last. Well I had to mess with it, took another hour just to get it back to where I had it when I started it. I got to stop doing that.

Going to start tearing apart the Jato got to replace a few things so it's getting dismantled. I appreciate your guys help. It is a bit easier being a newbie for the third time. First to the hobbie in general, then to the HV brushless systems, and now nitro. There's a great bunch of guys the hang out here.

Almost forgot I'm a newbie in the boat forum at OSE too. Off to a good start there with the boat I have sinking to the bottom of my bathtub.

Let is know how it goes

[Gee]

Well I did what you said and submerged the engine in a bucket of soapy water and brushed off the gas tank with a small brush while blowing in the exhaust pipe. Only thing I found out was it taste like crap and blowing bubbles wasn't as much fun as it was catching her.

On a serious note. I did find a leak at the front bearing. I tore it all apart including cleaning the carb out and sealed up the other areas with the gasket maker. Waiting on the front bearing now. I tried it out and sealing the other areas like carb and exhaust has helped. It started easeir but idles real high and I am still learing the tuning side. For example I did find out about the clutch bell heating up when the rc is idling high. Couldn't figure out why the first two spurs just when out and the RPMs sky rocketed. The thirds spur was very obvious it had melted. There is a lot to these and the frustration can be pretty high at times. I blew the third spur this afternoon. So I took out the raze truggy. After 15 minutes of trying to get it started (the fuel line clamp was clamped from when I shut it down last night) I made it about four blocks and I think the clutch when out in it. I don't know it's in that area anyway. I am glad I have my electrics to fall back on. Nice to "drop" the nitros on the bench grab the electric and go have fun. Which I am going to have a nice quite bash as the sun goes down. Electrics have a nice and peaceful way to bash violently.

Look in the middle it has the quanity discounts for bulk orders. I ran these plugs in alot of nitros and they are good for the money. I rarely had to change one.

I went there and they didn't have the discount there. Well its there now, although that is the Tower Plug, you use to be able to get them for the McCoy Plugs

I use Mccoy, but I am having glow plug probs now... I blame my glow starter
