L3010 glow plugs

[liam]

been a busy week, I'm going to replace the oil this weekend and look for any fragments. Henro...I tend to use the words "diesel and gas" universally...but I do mean diesel. I'm not sure how the plug chipped yet but the "diesel" I pulled out of it a few weeks back was horrible looking. A lot of water must have gotten into the gas stations tanks...the diesel could have been milk the way it looked. I'll let you know the updates at the end of the weekend.
Thanks for all the info!

I don't know if your Bota has a pre chamber or not. If you have the prechamber you can remove the injector and fish out the end of the glow plug. Glow Plugs will fracture and break when over heated. Could be the other two were open and it allowed to much amprage to the one that was left and it blew. I have changed many glow plugs in autos and trucks and had good luck with a long pair of tweesers to fish out the broken tip. If you do not have a prechamber the tip is more than likley imbeded in the top of the piston.
