Manual Glow Plug "timer" switch

How about a simple starter solenoid relay from some other old car and a push button to control it with. Id hook all 5 up to it in paralell, and use a button that you have to hold down with your finger for the glowplugs to be on, so you couldn't leave them on, and burn them out. If it starts stalling after startup, just put your finger back on the button. I think I could count to 6 in cold weather and 3 in warm weather with my own brain...one onthousand two onethousand, etc, and err on the short side so as not to burn out my precious plugs.


What do you think
Mark
