Fit and function: G5 plug for GGT/GG engines

This G5 glow plug is intended for O.S. Engine GGT10, GGT15 and compatible GG series model engines and is supplied as a single replacement element. It is designed to match the G5 family dimensions for use in the stated series of glow-fuel RC engines.

Fitting instructions: remove the head cover to access the plug, use the correct size glow plug socket to remove the old unit, screw in the replacement by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to a snug, controlled fit as recommended by the engine manufacturer. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to head threads.

Operational notes: the plug forms the hot spot for ignition and plays a role in start behavior and idle stability. If the engine shows poor starting or erratic idle, inspect plug seating, electrode condition, and clip connection; a secure and correct plug fit helps maintain stable needle settings.

Precautions: confirm thread pitch and electrode condition before final assembly, work with the engine cool where feasible, and limit use to RC-scale glow gasoline engines only.

Compare the thread pitch and overall length of the replacement to the old plug before fitting. If dimensions differ, do not force the plug; confirm compatibility with the engine's specifications first.
Look for electrode erosion, heavy carbon deposits, or inconsistent glow when powered. These are indicators that the plug should be replaced to restore reliable ignition.
Do not attempt to fit a plug into a damaged thread. Repair or re-tap the head thread where appropriate, or consult a specialist to avoid further engine head damage.
