Can a four-stroke, single cylinder, or,V-Twin gas engine like e.g. the "NEMETT" and "HOGLETT", be converted to run on a glow plug?
I ask because there is a thread called "Vee Twin Selfcharger" posted today showing a V-twin glow plug engine that reminds me of the "Hoglett" functionally, excluding the outwards appearances.
I ask because I have the plans and drawings for the "HOWELL V-TWIN" and the "HOGLETT" and I'd like to know if both these engines can be made to run on glow-plugs? I'd like to eliminate anything that's not really needed to get an engine to run, like: coils, points, wires, etc. I hate extra work.
Just asking what the differences are between an engine designed to run on spark plug vs. glow plug? Are cylinders, heads, con-rods, pistons different? Fuel type, and delivery/metering must be different, I suppose?
Thanks,
Frank
