DESCRIPTION
The glow plug is mounted inside the engine combustion chamber. To ensure efficient engine starting with a cold engine, the preheating timer assembly turns on the glow relay and permits the current to flow through the glow plug based on the preheating timer assembly calculated time. The glow plug is then heated, enabling fuel combustion with a cold engine.

Tech Tips
If any of the glow plugs has an open circuit, the engine power is insufficient only when the engine is cold.
Note
Exercise extreme care not to damage the glow plug pipes. Damaging them could cause an open circuit, or shorten the life of the glow plugs.
Keep the glow plugs free of oil and fuel while cleaning.
Wipe any oil off of the terminal and Bakelite washer with a clean, dry cloth during inspection.
Do not apply more than 11 V to the glow plugs as doing so may cause an open circuit.
Reinstall the glow plug assembly connector.
