Nitro engines don't use spark plugs. They use glow plugs. There is only one length. Other type won't fit turbo plugs. You must be referring to the heat range?It could also you have the wrong type of spark plug in, the threads are too long and block the piston movement. Try to loosen it a couple of turn, if it move, then slowly tighten it. You can also take a picture of the glow plug.
clearing this up, there are two different lengths of glow plugs... Short (typically only found in O.S. engines) and long/standard (there are a few other manufacturers that use short plugs, but not many).Nitro engines don't use spark plugs. They use glow plugs. There is only one length. Other type won't fit turbo plugs. You must be referring to the heat range?
Just a slip of the tongue, I do mean glow plugs, no, there are different lengths.Nitro engines don't use spark plugs. They use glow plugs. There is only one length. Other type won't fit turbo plugs. You must be referring to the heat range?
Oh one has a idle bar on it but it is still a long plug standard.No they are not, the difference are quiet significant.
Turbo plugTurbo plugs are definitely different in length.
They are all standard long plug and will work in any nitro standard engine. They are all the same length thread side less the washer. Idle bar has nothing to do with the length. Brand has nothing. The glow plug is not the problem.
You can say whatever you want but they are different lengths for sure. A picture is better than a thousand words.They are all standard long plug and will work in any nitro standard engine.

You never know if that is the problem with that particular engine. It is one of the variable.Your picture shows standard long glow plugs from different manufactures and they are all the same. It doesn't matter if the plug has a idle bar on it or not it will still work in any standard nitro engine. There is plenty of clearance. I have used all these type of plugs in different engines and they all work the same.
It's not the problem as the plug is standard long type. The pull starter jams and this could be from????? I suspect the engine is used and has been taken apart and is missing the head shims. Which can cause this partial problem with starting. It dose fire But the starter doesn't recoil back which is the other problem when trying to start. That tells me the starter case is too tight.You never know if that is the problem with that particular engine. It is one of the variable.
