Yanmars don't have glow plugs. They have thermostart. On top of the engine you will find a little bottle, If it has a cap on it you have to fill it with diesel when you want to use it, some has a auto fill. Anyway it needs diesel to use the thermostart. But you hardly ever need it. Unless it's way below freezing. You just turn or pull, which ever system it has so it releases the compression. Crank till the oil light goes out, and then use the foot throttle to give it about half throttle. Then release the compression release, and it will start. If it gets cold enough to use the thermostart, you turn the key to the left for about 5 seconds or so, that will light a little fire in the intake. Then you use the same way as stated to start it. You can take the air cleaner off and watch while you turn it to the left and see it it lights a little fire. I has a element like a cig. lighter. If it doesn't work you may have to take it off and clean it.
