Glow Plug Test

The Dynamite glow plug used with your engine (DYN2495) is designed specifically
®
for the engine.
CAUTION: Before testing the glow plug, clean up spilled fuel and close
fuel containers. Failure to do can result in injury, fire or damage.
Use a spare glow plug to check the igniter. If the igniter makes the element glow,
remove the plug from the engine to check it the same way. Reinstall the glow plug,
maing sure you have included the brass gasket. Or, install a new glow plug (DYN2495)
with the required brass gasket.

STATUS
Forward
A wet glow plug indicates there is excess fuel in the engine. To
eliminate the excess fuel:
1. Remove the glow plug.
2. Place the model on a stand where the tires are not
touching the ground and place a rag over the cylinder
head.
3. Turn the engine over for a few seconds. This will
remove the excess fuel in the engine.
