That's what we've *been* doing since I replaced the GPs and relay - but I
want the preglow relay & light to work properly. And it sounds like a new
relay will be needed to make that happen. I read the chart in the WSM
showing the various glow times needed and the curve showing the temp the GP
gets to after x seconds. it maxs out at 20 seconds and 1750F and while it
will maintain that temp if the GP stays on ot doesn't get any hotter. It
just stays hot longer.
It starts instantly - we count to 15 when it's cold and it always starts on
the 1st 1/2 revolution.
Even when it was around 15F it starts after 15 seconds of glowtime. Always
starts instantly.

need to put a light on the GPs and see how many seconds they're
staying on
when cold. We're getting mid 30'sF in the morning so I should get a
lengthy
glow.
Around freezing you should be seeing something like 30 seconds
of glow. If you don't, just wait that long anyway before starting.
It ought to start a lot better. (You don't need a functioning light
to get a good start, if you know how long you're supposed to wait.)
