Re: [solved]most Efficent Glowhead Clip for Norvel Engine
Started to hook wire to the clip and so far the clip has stumped me on assembly. Do you have a good closeup of the finished clip so I can figure out how to assemble it?

It isn't same in shape. It is for bigger engines. However assembly is similar.

Watch for momentary shorts!
Guys,
I also picked up the big brother. And it IS bigger! I'll try to submit a picture of this little one on a Medallion .15 along with the bigger Dubro clip later this weekend. This little one may take some tweeking to fit a Pee Wee or Tee Dee .020 so it can clamp on the head. As is, it touches the .020 cylinder just below the head. Does the black conduct electricity?
When you wire up your clip, be aware of the area where shorts can occur. The 90 degree bend is so the sliding contact ring terminal doesn't short against the fixed one. The bent one needs to come off the side of the clip so as it goes in and out with the terminal.
Levent, I'll PM you later tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks.
A piece of heat shrink tubing on short fixed terminal can solve the short circuit problem.

Re: [solved]most Efficent Glowhead Clip for Norvel Engine
Good for you, Phil!
When I checked it on my PeeWee, I didn't like the "hold." I wanted to check the fixed side to see if flipping it over in the body would get it on the head instead of the cylinder. But then, I do have a habit of over-thinking things.
Does it grab and release.in a way that you are confident using it? Have you tried it on a small Norvel?

Another confirmation for .020….I haven’t cranked an engine with it but seems like it’s easiest to grip it like a syringe to install and release….. To get it off cleanly depress the spring with the thumb and roll the back end up just a bit and it will release from the tip of the plug cleanly without hanging….. Classy little clip!!!

Re: [solved]most Efficent Glowhead Clip for Norvel Engine
i am reasonably confident it will stay on. Ran the engine for a full tank with the clip on, just to see how vibration effected it an it stayed on. Haven't tried a small Norvel yet, tomorrows project. Can only take so many fumes in the shop in one day. To cold to run it in the garage or outdoors.

Is there one more clip in Santa's bag?
Hello Jim,
I'm the new old guy and haven't made the required number of posts in order to send you a PM.
Do you think it would be okay (safe) to post my P.O. Box #?

Re: [solved]most Efficent Glowhead Clip for Norvel Engine
Mr. Wingman,
I recommend NEVER posting email addresses/physical addresses/phone numbers in any website's publicly viewable threads. These threads can be viewed without logging on. The information then can become tools for identity theft. PM's on CEF however, are not publicly viewable. I won't make that last claim for ALL websites.
Your wish is my command...I'll have it packaged within the 24 hours. I may hold off on mailing yours (and Gary's/Russ's) until after Christmas. Sorry Gary and Russ, I arrived at our local PO this weekend to find a line out the door. Needless to say, I wasn't waiting two hours for a couple of glow clips. Maybe you'll have the clips before you take down the tree. Feel free to take a picture of the clip hanging in the tree (no obligation to keep the tree up)...chuckles! I may try purchasing/labelling at the house tonight so I can drop them off in a street-side mailbox tomorrow. My packaging is light, and no bigger than an envelope. It shouldn't take very long to get there.
Please reach out to me via "reply to PM," since I just sent you one. Or hit me up via off-site email (in the PM). I have two (mentioned above) to take to the PO, so I can add yours to the stack before I go. If I don't hear back in the next day or two, do not fear I'll run out of these. Yours will be packaged and waiting until we can PM or email.
Sincerely,
Jimxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx

Re: [solved]most Efficent Glowhead Clip for Norvel Engine
Ok...I know. Bad form to drag one out of the past. This is for Juan in PR and Dave Nyce from SH.
I sent a few more off with a recommendation to make removing these tiny clips from engines much easier. Imagine the tooth pick in the following images is a screw or really small all-thread (squint if you must).
The screw that clamps the two halves together should be replaced with a 1.25" (30 mm) long screw. Use a nut on both sides. This makes the clip easier to squeeze/release using index and middle fingers on the screw while pinching with your thumb:

Hello Jim
I want to thank you for the 1/2A glow clip and the idea on how to make it easier to remove. I started the assembly after I saw your mod. I clamped both sides and using a 4-40 tap I tapped the hole that holds both sides together all the way . Then on assembly I used a 4-40 stainless steel cap screw, placed a small 4-40 nut on the recess that one side has and after adding the sliding part I screwed them together. Even without nuts to hold the screw in it went in a little tight and I don`t think it will back off. I did like rdw777 and didn`t use any terminals just wrapped the wire around the screws and tightened both. I really like this small clip it works real good on my Wen Mac .049 R/C engine. I had to be very careful with the big clips not to stick a terminal inside the exhaust port. Thanks again. here are some pics.
Juan

!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why didn't I think of that? I have a couple of these clips, but they're a pain to pull off of a running engine, especially a .09 or .15 engine. That long screw solves my problem.
