Picco .21bas Problems
#1
I went out to run today and i burned out 2 glow plugs. It was just fine yesterday, then I put another plug in and it wouldnt start at all.
I tried to tune it but nothing, I havent checked it yet. But I wanted to get some input before I took it apart. Do I have a leak?
any info would be great, Thanks in advance.

Could be many things or something simple, the rear bearing could be going out. Was the motor noisy like a grinding noise? If you take it out of the car and look at the piston through the exhaust port and see very small scratches it is from the rear bearing.

Does your engine still have good compression and pinch?
- Check all screws and retight them
- Inspect where the carb enters the engine for leak and retight the screw.
- Replace fuel tubing, make sure there is no air leak in the tank/tubes
What's your glow starter? and what kind of battery you use? Too much voltage will kill the plug
