Replace the glow plug.

 

[taylor17nelson]

Why does this happen cause I've only had this truck for like 4 days

Also should there be moisture all around the glo plug when the truck is running

That junk I bought for stepson does that to,well whole time it runs it bibbles fuel around it.
Throw it away and buy something else
I am parting out a brand new one if you need parts for it, you will if you keep iy. Trust me.
Worst $ I ever spent.

I'm tired of hearing how bad it is... i just got this one and dont have money to get a new one... it runs and thats all that matters so I'm gunna make do with wut i got

First have you broken it in? Rigs running either too rich or too lean can cause a glow plug to go bad. It's probably a good idea to carry 2 or 3 spares in your pit box.

 

[taylor17nelson]

yes it is broken in... how do i fix that or should i just a buy a few

What are your temps outside? If it's really cold, you should wrap the head to keep some heat in the engine, you'll be able to get a tune on it after. If it's not a turbo type plug, did you make sure the copper washer was on the plug? What plugs are you using?

 

[taylor17nelson]

Well around 30-40's i do keep something on my head... but i lost the washer but i didnt think it was that big of a deal... also I'm not sure on what kind of plug just the stick one

 

[SchrodeMode]

Yea, if you lost the washer, I wouldn't run it until you get another one. It creates a seal around the plug, so without it you're probably running lean. That would explain killing the plugs, and it's also shortening the life of your engine.

O ok well I'm going to hobby shop tomarrow and ill get new plug and make sure i dont lose washer haha... thanks man

If it cuts out when you remove the glow plug driver it means that the engine is too rich or the plug is too cold. First try leaning out your low speed mixture adjustment. Also a hotter glow plug will make tuning the engine much easier.
