Glow Plugs

[askikr79]

I just replaced all mine last week. I was having a issue with my GP controller. It would not turn off. the plastic housing around the relay was melted. Before I changed the plugs I performed the "manual" control mod.

My plugs were very easy to change(all beru's). All of my connectors were just metal. The insulation rotted of long ago. I took some air and blew around the plugs to get the area clean. I thought the debris was pecan shells from a rat eating around my engine but figured out it was the connector insulation. I used anti-seize on the new plugs.
A wiggler socket is a MUST imho.

Made a HUGE difference in the way it starts. I love the manual control also.

I put a new set of plugs in mine at the first of summer with a manual toggle switch and last week it started acting like they went bad. I have had to use either the last few days. What would cause the gps to go bad that fast? I can hear my solenoid clicking but my inside light does not dim like it did when they where working!

sorry to be capton obvious but did you leave the switch on by accident.

no sir. I have a toggle switch that goes off after you let go so I know it was not me. It would crank over good after 4 seconds when I first put every thing in. I took one out last week and it had a little bit of crud on it but I think that should be normal. I am using some gps I got off ebay like these.

do a quick check and see if any are burned out. i got one last set of factory international GP's but i am thinking about switching over to the delco 60G since i run a manual controller again.
