It is a kind of glowplug. The sulfur on it can be compared with the brown-red head of a match. When it comes under compression it burns spontaniously. The engine starts and the plug glows maybe for 5 to 10 combustions. The engine has than the speed to run further on its own.

My grandfather called those plugs "punks."

I love that engine! The start process is really cool. I am surprised you can still buy the starter plugs (what are they called?). You might have already answered this, but where did you get this engine?

i have identical engine to this but mine is in australia - made in coventry england 1938 and is called a uniporn h10 manufactured by porn & dunwoody , who still make stainless steel lifts.
It was sold new in tasmania taken to the west coast of aust. and then brought to the east coast. It was a generating plant when new.Is belived to be the first pressure injected impirial diesel of time.
