Default Glow Plug Help

I can't remember what Glow Plug to use on my old K&B .40.
I think it was long with idle bar.

Thanks
Don

The idle bar is typically not needed for boats. A long plug such as the 1L should be fine for that size engine. If you're using low nitro, a plug like the OS #8 or McCoy MC-59 would also do well.

Is that the old Torpedo engine? Does it have the (for the lack better choice of a name for it) divider on the top of the piston?

Ron, I don't think so. I bought this new back in the 70's, I love the muffler on it. I can't rember who made it, but it's a flow through muffler.

Thanks to all.
