You will need to use the ignitor every time you go to start it. The glow plug does not stay hot enough when the enging shuts off.
These engines aren't like diesel engines. They don't have that high of compression to actually cause the fuel to combust. The heat of the coil is also required. As it's running, the coil stays hot. Once you shut it off, the coil cools too much and it won't start without being heated again.
