Looking for a new glow plug adapter

[Stuart Barr]

As title says, I need a new glow plug adapter. My all metal one has just flat worn out. What is available and where can I get one?

Thanks,

Stu

Hi Stu

Not quite sure what you mean? A little more detail will help.

Thanks John

Works for me. Tower has them.

Ray,

That is the part that I am looking for. I have used the "Dubro" ones before. The plastic pieces do not hold up to the chemicals.

Hobbico "Hot Shot" I do "modify" it a little. I take out the set screw, scuff the tube re-assemble with JB Weld.

The "Pro" version has stainless body

I used those for years and love them but they won't hold the O'Donnell plugs.

Need to use the type like Allen has but they wear out fast and don't grip.

Hobbico " Hot Shot " locks,and wireless.

Ray,

I did exactly that a few years back. With a fresh charged battery, it made the glow plug light up like a flash light.

Thanks Terry. Interesting, I have'nt tried the O'Donnell plugs yet (but have purchased a bunch and plan to use them in the near future). Curious, I'm gonna experiment connecting my Head Lock to an O'Donnell plug, check fit.

Only ever bought one of these Stu and never wore it out. Fit all plug types too. It's power panel ready if you use one of those.

That is the same battery that was used in the GloBee Fireplug. You could adjust the amperage on the Fireplug from 1 to 5 amps. You really didn't need any more than 2.5 to 3 amps to get an engine started. If you got the engine really flooded THEN you went to 5 amps to clear it out. A setting of 5 amps would blow out a lot of the hot range glow plugs of the day. When I started running boats I used the GloBee Fireplug with the MRC glow plug twist lock ( as pictured in a previous post ). The wire where it goes into the top of the twist lock part needs more support and I did this with different sizes of heat shrink tubing. Today I use the glow igniters from Tower........too simple and the price is right! ( But keep a spare in your pocket! )
