glow plug carbon build up
excuse me if this was posted to a diy link but it has been a long two days.
short story.....the gp light was out. meter readiung said plug 1. when it was pulled it was, can i say this,,,,,more phallic looking than before? there is a carbon build up on the tip with a discernable ring around the whole plug. there is also an ash build up at the tip. since i have not pulled that many gps i ask you the multitude. is that normal glow plug build up? i would post pix but the tri pod mount is hard afixed the base of the camera and it needs a battery-ectomy and i just can't do one more thing today. maybe tomorrow afternoon.
