MEP 002/003 glow plug kit

[LuckyDog]

So, I bought two of the glow plugs for the head from (Onan 333B104 type)

I need to replace only the one right now. The other is to keep on hand. With shipping it worked out to less than $25 each.

The white "fiberglass" tube: what is it for? My guess is to put over the electrical wire to protect it, since they also give you a terminal to crimp on.

I am hoping the copper gasket comes out with the old plug.

any suggestions?

Electronics pick. Works like a charm.

One word of warning on these sorts of pick sets, many are made out of stanless steel or other hard steel which can easily gouge sealing surfaces, picks made from brass are much safer since it is a softer metal and therefore much less prone to cause gouging..

The fiberglass tube is more than likely to slide over the connector to insulate it and protect it from heat. Not really needed unless you really want to use it. Unless your old connector is bad, just pull it off of the plug, replace the plug and stick it back on.

Also, be gentle and use lots of PB blaster on the plug....it could be a royal pain to get out. spray it down and work it back and forth...spray again and keep working it.

The more I work on this thing, the more I am convinced.... It really DOES only have 7.5 hours on it.


AND... It sat outside for the last 26+ years!
