Could you define "Broken" please

 

[hpirushrvo]

no glow at all

 

[ThunderTiger]

Is the coil intact on the GP ? Is the Glow ignitor charged ?

Uh....say what?

If you want help, at least ANSWER IN A WAY THAT WE UNDERSTAND.

 

[hpirushrvo]

sorry

its definitely the plug thats broken not the plug igniter its just strange that it broke during the week and not while the engine was running and i was just wondering why this could happen and if anyone else had this happen to them

sorry again

It probably did break while running. As far as glow plugs are concerned, when I'm down to 3 left, I am OUT of plugs. Always have a spare or 2.

problem with me is i live 20 miles from my shop and I'm 15 so can't just "get in the car and go there" and the train station is the outher side of the city and my parants are on a tight scedule ect etc etc but thanks anyway

even though iam new to rc, i formed an idea about glow plugs. you have a good plug start and run engine, engine stops cause no fuel. put it away. get it out later no run glow plug bad. what happened was the coil broke down in side, so some of the coil stayed glowing running the engine, ie it doesn't need electric to stay glowing, the engine keeps it hot. now i have NOT been able to prove this, its just an idea.
