Default Cooler plug - lower running temp?
Hi!

I am running a Nova Mega SX-12 RE Turbo in Sweden where it's about 25 degrees celsius right now (77 F) with a #6 plug. My problem is that the engine gets really warm, over 140 C (284 F) it seems like sometimes. I got it to run pretty well now but I've heard something about that a cooler glow plug would help the engine run cooler, but it it doesn't make sense to me how the glowplug could change the temp? Can somebody help me clear this out?
