Nope my ToyCo 3L 'lux engine does not give a rat's about
the plugs working or not. Cold conditions notice somthing
ain't quite working while starting, however I don't live in
cold conditions, so took winter to come about for me to
realize they were all broken couple of years back. Summer
I don't need them.
If of the same age, one goes out, the others will follow if
in parallel as the voltage increases and hence current
flow. They are only rated at 11 volts and hanging off a
longish bit of wire which IIRC goes to an 80 amp fuse.
