They're OK. I do plan on converting as soon as I iron out this performance problem and I don't really think that has anything to do with that. As I said, the glow plug light is now behaving itself. And, I have to be careful with my "monthly allotment."On 8/5/2017 7:34 AM, Mark Bardenwerper citrogsa@charter.net

Hi Mark. If you have the "older" glow plug harness which puts all the
plugs in parallel you can not check the resistance of the glo plugs
without "isolating" (disconnecting) them one by one. The advantage of
the newer system is the plugs are powered directly and are not inter
connected so you can test resistance directly from the prongs on the
harness. You could have one or two dead glow plugs but the harness will
show resistance.

Has anyone taken the side and bottom covers off their injection pumps and cleaned there? Can one access the governor without causing chaos?
