Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / April 2004Glow Plug Recognition
I have mixed up some new 2st. and 4st. glow plugs, how do I tell them apart ? Matt S. You can't always tell. But, many 4-stroke plugs have an extended tip. If you see that the plug length extends beyond the threads, then you are looking at a "hot" plug commonly used in 4-strokes. However, not all hot plugs have extended tips. The Enya #3 is a good example of a plug commonly used on 4-strokes which doesn't have the tip extending into the combustion chamber.

Do the plugs not have any markings on them: A3, F4 ect? > I have mixed up some new 2st. and 4st. glow plugs, how do I tell them apart > ? > Matt S. Doesn't that p*ss you off? The O.S. plugs I buy now are more expensive, but they work GREAT and are marked. I don't know why other manufacturers don't mark theirs....
