glow pilot

It's good for you to be a glow pilot again for a little while.

It's not the smell of glow fuel that's annoying. It's the taste when inevitably get some in your mouth futzing around with the stuff. Got is good myself a few weeks ago after I pulled the glow plug on a flooded engine and hit it with my starter.

Guilty. Though I really do like alky and castor oil - just much better when burned in a two-stroke racing outboard - doesn't require any nitro and doesn't make one hell-of-a-mess like it does on the airplanes. It is sad when buying nitro in small quantities today - say 1 gallon - that it is cheaper to go and buy the glow fuel at the LHS even when you have a 55 gallon drum of alky and also castor oil in bulk in the shop.

Yea, but I almost never flood my gas engines. Although there is the time I kept trying to start it with the choke on. LOL!

A guy did that a couple weeks back at the local field. Flooded his 55cc engine, wondered why it wouldn't start. Then he went and got his Mega Starter to start it that way. I stopped him as I seen the fuel pour out of the muffler. Told him to pull the plug, and dry the plug with a lighter, and spin the engine over with his starter to clear the combustion chamber of fuel. Finally, someone at that field listened to me!
