hey last night i went and bout the mutant cooling head put it on and everything and i got a .8 glow plug and i put the cooling head on and put the glow plug in but the blue wire on the easy start wont latch on the tip of the glow plug because the tip of the glow plug is to big what do i do.... or is it the glow plug HELP.....thanx.
 
You answered your own question. "The tip of the glow plug is too big". You pretty much have three options:

---You can try to open up the connector on the blue EZ start wire so it will fit the glow plug

---Use a glow plug starter

---You can unfortunately, take that glow plug out & use a different glow plug

What brand of plug is it?
 
i drilled a hole in the conecter to make it bigger, just dont twis what your drilling or th wire will break.
 
the hobby guy told me to un twist the little wire on the end of the easy start and i tryed to do the and it was way to hard to twist i got some cuts tryin to do it i guess ill get a new glo plug with a skinny pointed end but i forgot what the brand is but does any of you know whats a good glo plug that last longer or is just plain better or do you think all of them are the same
 
Yeah, definitely don't try drilling it. Some needle nosed pliers work like a champ.

I run either the McCoy-9 or the McCoy-59. Both plugs have been good to me, so I will stay with them.

However, I don't have the EZ-start on my Maxx so I don't know if the blue wire will attach to those plugs. I use the Hot Bodies Jump Start.

Just unplug the blue wire & take it with you into your LHS to make sure the glow plug will fit it.

It would with a little solder. The one I bought I got from Hobbytown USA and I don't have any idea what the part number was. It had the bullet connector though, where the one that I linked does not.
