My glo plug has turned brown aroung the threads and theres a little bit of brown on the end of the glow plug, (It's the color of rust but It's only two days old) What is this stuff? Crash

Crash, that stuff is bad...this means you're running your engine TOO LEAN. This means your engine is running hot; first thing before you run it again, richen up the high end needle by turning it counter-clockwise about a half-turn. Monitor the temps, and if it is still running really fast, richen it up a little more. This will keep your plug shiny and your engine life high. Good luck.

hi. try another 1/2 turn open on hi end and just a touch on lo end. you want it to idle without "loading up" as well as take the gas effectively. plus when you drive it make sure that you see a trail of smoke when you do a "high speed driveby". if it aint smokin,,,yr engines a cookin!LOL. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif hope i helped man.
