Expert, Multi Cylinder Glow Driver
« on: July 04, 2022, 10:23:57 PM »
I'm trying to get my Seidel ST540 five cylinder radial engine back up and running with all the original equipment.

I came fitted with an "Expert, Multi Cylinder Glow Driver". Over the years The single page instruction leaflet has become lost.

It's a long shot, but does anyone happen to have a copy of the "Expert, Multi Cylinder Glow Driver" instruction leaflet???

Quick google search for  "Expert, Multi Cylinder Glow Driver" instructions turned this up, think its what you want. It was on Horizon Hobbies website.

Hello Chris

Thanks for looking.

I also found that one earlier; unfortunately that is a modern single cylinder on-board glow driver.  The "Expert, Multi Cylinder Glow Driver" is vintage.

Cheers

Mike

Was worth a try. Have you tried contacting Horizon Hobbies support? They may have a copy of the other one.

Thanks Chris

I've  already contacted Horizon Hobbies and waiting to see if they can help.

The Expert Multi is old/vintage, like pre- internet

Thank you Roger and Chris and everyone else who searched.

Roger, that partial tells me most of what I needed to know. The Multi was designed to run off a 2.4volt supply (two Nicad cells). The power for the glow plugs would be removed above a pre-set throttle opening and reapplied when the engine returners to tick-over.

I did some more searching in the RC forums and discovered the 'Expert Multi' was also re-badged as a 'World Engines' product. That lead me to another for-sale photo, with most of the instruction sheet visible.

Thanks again

Mike
