Hi everyone,
I have a small engine which i am restoring, its from a model aeroplane i think, its a petrol compression engine( i know this sounds wierd but it definately is).
The problem im having isthe glowplug (needed to start theengine) is currently connected to a simple switch which is manually turned off when the engine gets going, is there a way i could get it to turn off after the engine has started? i cant think of a sensor that would do this.
Any ideas welcome even without the electronic idea to back it, im happy to research things myself but i dont know where to start
(glow plug is 1.5v, 3ohm) run from 6v battery pack(used for other electrics) dropped down by series resistors
Thanks Guys.
