  • Making progress. Although whenever I fix one bit I find the next part that doesn't work.

    Did you see that new ignitor was a 400 V model, the old was a 240 V. It should work but with lower V. It was specified higer than the old, but it will be lower anyway. Bu I hope it works fine :-)

    Hi
    My diesel spark is purple, the ignition bars a loose and the diesel is not misting. Any tips would be great

    Good video. My cleaner only fires if you lift the diesel head off to give it more air. What could this be? Do you think the electrodes could be set up wrong?

      Does your blower have an adjustable intake vent?

    HI, Was it me or did that motor not sound happy, a bit rumbly, what is the voltage across the capacitor from the coil connection to the other ac in? Cheers

    • @DavidMcLuckie

      Not sure. I tried the cap on the other coil and it refused to spin. If I remember I'll take the cover off the motor again and take a voltage reading.

      Hi. In the video it sounded like the cap was too large, giving that strained motor sound. Cheers

    Hi where did you get the electric starter from thanks

    • @DavidMcLuckie

      Was a while ago now. But I think off eBay. As long as you match the old one to the new one it should be fine. I did have to email the motor manufacturer for the wiring diagram though.

    Be careful, that igniter put me asleep one time !!!!

    • @DavidMcLuckie
      @DavidMcLuckie  3 года назад

      Yeah, I thinks it 25,000 volts or more.

    Hello. I need your help man. Does the spark keep going after the flame is burning??

    • @DavidMcLuckie
      @DavidMcLuckie  5 лет назад

      On the one I fixed yes.

      The spark should stop after 30 seconds to stop the contactors and transformer overheating.
      They will be a timer wired in conjunction with the flyback transformer.

      My karcher hds stays on to ignite fuel

      all the hot machines i work on, the spark keeps going.
      most machines have the blower motor and ht transformer wired together.
      in case ayone points this out, some machines have the blower fan on the back of the main motor.

    Did you say the water was in your crocs? If so seriously...crocs...what is wrong with you man? ;-)
    Not the first time I've forgotten to put some bit or other on that flows water and got drenched / ended up looking like I've wet myself.
    Your getting there, its always the way, you find that "one simple fault" is in fact masking about 20 other ones...and whoever designed it didn't consider it would a) be in a car, b) in a frame, c) in a confined space or d) people who work on these things dont have hands the size of a 3 year olds...

      I was once like you. I said to my mate 'what are you wearing?'. He told me they were crocs and gave me a shot of them. He nearly didn't get them back. They are the comfiest things I've ever worn.
