Glow Plug

The choice of glow plug depends on the type of engine (two-stroke/four- -stroke), engine displacement and fuel used. KAVAN supplies the multi-purpose GP-1 glow plug for its engines, which is very suitable for both two- and four-stroke engines. If you decide to try other spark plugs, follow the following recommendations: Two-stroke engines up to 3.5 ccm (.21 cu inch) require a warm or medium spark plug (O.S. MAX No.6 (former A3), KAVAN Premium No.1 etc.), 3.5-10 ccm (.21-.60) engines then a cold one (O.S. MAX No.8, KAVAN Premium No.3), engines over 10 ccm (.60) run well on super cold glow plugs or glow plugs with a bridge (O.S. MAX No.10 (former A5). Four-stroke engines require special long glow plugs (O.S. MAX F, KAVAN Premium 4T etc.) In practice, start with the basic recommended type, over time you can try others to achieve optimal performance and reliable operation.
