Bench Running a Small Glow Plug Engine

Thought I would take you through bench running a small glow plug engine. This is quite easy to do, you just need to follow some simple steps and you will be ready to go. Bench running is a good way to get used to starting and tuning these small engines. Even model car engines can be run on the bench with a propeller. This way you can learn in a controlled environment.

The video takes you through the stages of mounting it, fuel tank, plumbing, propeller and throttle.
