Gencon Board

[John Suter]

Hi David,

I just read Wes's response and wanted to pass on
another experience to you.
As one or more glow plugs on the Gen burn out, the
Gen takes increasingly longer to start. In my case,
simply checking for and replacing a burned out plug
solved the problem.
I should have guessed the GenCon had a pre-heat
role, but it never dawned on me, so I'm glad you asked
and Wes answered. One more "bit" to add to ye ole
knowledge base.
