[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 3600, member: 26"] Roadkill -- My 751 diesel was not starting well. All the plugs checked OK with an ohmmeter (1 ohm or less resistance) when tested individually. When I pulled one out and hooked it directly to the battery, it glowed nice and red hot all along the length. So everything seemed to check out OK, but I put in a new set anyhow (finally found some replacements by Bosch at 1/4 the Bobcat price). The difference was really amazing. Starts great now, just a slight bit of dark smoke for the first 2-3 seconds, then purrs with invisible smoke. Before, it would cough up white smoke, miss a bit, belch out dark smoke sometimes, sometimes not even start for the first few tries. Sure made a difference. And the Bobcat dealer didn't even mention that when I asked about hard starting. I'd sure consider a new set if you can find them reasonably. Mine were $9 each at Autozone. I called Bosch with the old Bosch number from the original glowplugs (1300 hrs on them) and found the direct replacement. I guess I'd apply Tazza's term to the old plugs: lazy.
