Check the heater plug temp sensor is operating correctly

Put a 600 ohm resistor in series with the glow plug temperature sender. This should give about 4 seconds glow with a hot engine, and a bit longer glow at lower temps, depending of course on exactly which sender you have fitted. Trial and error....more ohms gets you longer glow.
1.9D (AEF) pop-top. Aaaaahhhhh........that's better.
