Use a hot plug with low nitro (less than 24%), and a cold plug with high nitro (more than 25%).
If you remove the glow starter from you idling engine, and notice an immediate drop in RPM, you may need a hotter plug or more nitro.
If your engine has a tendency to backfire a lot, you may be using a glow plug that's too hot, or you may need fuel with less nitro.
Most hot plugs can take up to 2.0 volts starting power without burning up, while most cold plugs prefer 1.2 to 1.5 volts starting power.

so if after breaking in on a engine....most people use med plugs? thats with 20% nitro fuel. what happeneds if a hot plug is used on 20% nitro fuel. SO HOT PLUG= 25% AND MED/ COLD PLUG= 20% OR LOWER. RIGHT

Wrong hot plug for 25% and lower and med and cold plug for 30%+
