I notice when I turn key left, the light briefly stays on, but goes out even if i still hold key left. But I know it's still preheating without the light on, because I have actually tested the voltage at the glow plug rail while holding the key.
Interesting so I’m assuming yours is working the way it’s supposed to work? So that light only comes on initially not the whole time? I wish I was more familiar with these Takeuchi’ s. So far I like everything about it (well except trying to change or battery or adjust the belt Lol).

You'd think the light would stay on while holding the key. But it down doesn't at least on my machine. I'm original owner. Always been like that.
