7360 Glow Plugs

ken2005 · Oct 23, 2005

I bought them at Lewis farm equip. in warren; tel 273 2714.I'm going over tomorrow to pay for them so i'll let you know the price after. they are NGK products so they me be available from other sources; although i could'nt find them online.There is also a relay in the circuit but i didn't change it as the plug and controller replacement did the job. I may have to take the boat to get there.

Have any of you guys with the glow plug problem noticed anything before having the hard starts? Lately, I've been noticing the glow plug light flickering randomly while the 7360 is running. No hard starts though.

Wonder if I can nip this in the bud before my plugs go (if they aren't fried already)...

Not me. Mine probably started with one plug going out. It became a little harder to start, but always started. Then I must have lost the controller, because it just will not start if the ambient temp is below 55 F. The glow plug idiot light has been on solid for a couple months. Occasionally, it will go out, but never flickered.

The random glow plug lighting happened to me for about a year. I checked the glow plugs and all were good, no hard starting. I guessed it was a flook. Then the random lighting went away and the light worked proper. Then one day no start in warm temp. Checked and replaced all four glow plugs all were bad. Four plugs don't go bad at once. After replacing starting was great BUT the the light came back. The controller was replaced and end of story. Replace your controller now before you buy new plugs then the controller. Each time the light lights power goes to the plugs.

Wow. Thanks for the insight Chubby! We broke a hose on the backhoe, so I'll have the dealer replace the controller and check the plugs when they fix the hose.

Thanks a lot!

Interesting subject. I have the 7234, Mitsubishi Cub and I have never seen the light or glowing when you go to the pre-heat position. It has always started, takes a while sometimes in our cold Maine winters but I've never had a warm and fuzzy the pre-heat function works.

So you never see the light on the dash light up and then go out when you put the key in that first position?

When you say first position, I'm trying to think about that. On mine you turn the key backwards to the left, kind of like the accessory position on some cars, and I understood that was a "pre-heat' position.
