hey guys

so i ran my savage today, I'm running i think 20% or 25% VP power fuel
I'm using a cold/medium plug

i noticed i had like smoke/steam coming from the glow plug, the engine head itself feels fine the temperature is perfect not too hot and not too cold

i also noticed oil/fuel bubbling around the top of the glow plug, not around the brass washer but on top of the glow plug from the seal around the terminal, image attached for reference.

the engine seems to be running fine, is it anything to be worried about
 
Sometimes a faulty glow plug gets through the production!...keep that one and buy a new one,don't touch any needle settings or anything else until you put the new one in!...let us know ASAP what's up
 
Sounds faulty- send it back and get a new one, it's not worth fixing. As hotrodrob said, QC isn't perfect with any company :)
