Fox .15 Glow Plug Question

Fox .15 Glow Plug Question
Ok. So just another little question regarding the Fox .15x. This time it is about the glow plug. The engine came to me with a short glow plug installed. However, tonight I looked and found it had I believe only one other short glow plug. So for testing purposes I tried a couple I had on hand. I tried a standard long, standard long with idle bar, and a medium such as an OS #8. I used only one gasket per plug. When installed, they all allowed the propeller to turn, and there was no contact with the piston that I could feel. Anyways with that said, what is the recommended glow plug for that engine, or can I use what I have on hand that works without contact. I am not oppowed to buying a new plug, but would like to use up what I have. As well, I am not sure they sell short plugs locally, but will call tomorrow to see. The medium length plugs like the OS #8 are readily available. Thank you again in advance for any help in this matter.

Re: Fox .15 Glow Plug Question
Instructions call for a short plug.
The Fox plugs are good for the trashbin.
If you are ising a medium or long without interference then it will be ok. I have run a long in mine. It’s not a long term solution.

I have used longs as well. Even though there's no contact, I use two copper gaskets if I need too.
