Greetings all,
I know this has been done to death on the forum but here goes.
I have an 84 Aussie new HJ60 with a 2H motor. Its always been a bit of a pig to start if you don't catch it first go.
Its got the super glow system on it. When starting, I flick on the key and the glow light goes out after about 2 seconds then I have to wait about another 30 secs till the 2nd relay drops out. The busbar is measuring 11 - 10.5V until the 2nd relay drops out. It usually fires after a couple of turns but if it doesn't it can be a nightmare.
The mornings are getting colder here now and some days it only just starts. Even with a brand new battery.
Anyway, I've done all the relay tests/continuity tests in the FSM and everything seems fine. However, the current glow plugs are Bosch GPT 228 and according my information these are 24V plugs. It looks like I should be running GPT 214 (6V) but if my busbar voltage is staying at 10.5V (ish) for 30 secs then I'm guessing these won't last very long.
The bosch manual is a bit of a mess anyway, they list the GPT 228 as both a 12V and 24V plug etc etc.
Can anybody give me a simple explanation as to which plugs I should be using? I have spent hours on here trying to figure it out but I just seem to be confusing myself even more!!!
Thank you and apologies if this is really simple and I can't figure it out!!
