Subject:BN2 not ignitiing?
From:Jens Jakob Andersen

Hi

Yesterday I benchtested my BN2 with new glowplug.

I pump a LOT of gasoline - had large poodle under BN2.

But no ignition. 

Yes, I had white smoke out of exhaust for a few seconds, but never after that.

Glowplug does glow, though not bright red but just minor red glow.

Voltage to glowplug is 6.5V.

I tried unplugging fuelpump, letting glowplug warm up for 30 seconds, then plug fuel pump, but no luck.

Any ideas?
