2 Glowplug
O.S. No.8 glowplug is installed in the engine.
3 Glowplug battery
The power source for heating the glowplug may be
either a large heavy-duty 1.5volt dry cell, or preferably,
a 2-volt rechargeable lead-acid cell .
1.5 volt heavy-duty or 2 volt rechargeable
dry battery lead-acid cell (at least 5Ah)
Warning (Very hot)
Never touch the nichrome
wire while the battery is
connected.
Battery leads
Adjust applied voltage by changing the position of clip on
resistance coil until glowplug element is glowing bright red.
If a 2-volt cell is employed,
use a resistance wire, as
shown, to reduce applied
voltage, otherwise element
will overheat and burn out.

(nichrome wire)
4 Plug wrench
Used for tightening glowplug. The
O.S. long plug wrench is available
as an optional accessory.
5 Battery leads
These are used to conduct current
from the battery to the glowplug.
Basically, two leads, with clips, are
required, but, for greater conve-
nience, twin leads with special
glowplug connectors, as shown on
the right, are commercially
available.
6 Fuel bottle or pump
For filling the fuel tank, a simple,
polyethylene "squeeze" bottle, with
a suitable spout,is all that is
required. Alternatively, one of the
purpose-made manual or electric
fuel pumps may be used to transfer
fuel directly from your fuel
container to the fuel tank.
