Mine is currently pumping fuel and I hear the blower motor turning. It pumps some much fuel I can see it leaking. Do you think the excessive leaking fuel possibly damaged the cad eye cell?
@@TheMatthewDMerrill do you have the electrodes angled right? There is a tool with replacement electrodes it looks like a silver comb (kind of). Use that to position. It is possible the fuel is not landing on the spark. If you have spark and fuel, you need to find out why the fuel is not making contact with the spark.
@TXcommercialwash thank you for the advice, I got it off and tested with it in the open, no fuel was coming out the tip, maybe clogged or something. Am working on it now to see if I can clean or just replace
@ see if the fuel pump is siphoning. It is self priming so you should be ok to pull the hose off of it and stick your thumb to it. If it is sucking then you have a restriction between the fuel source and the fuel pump inlet. I’ve had dead insects clog my line before.
@@TXcommercialwash well I just saw your comment after I finished, but it was indeed the tip being clogged despite having that weird metal filter I've never seen before in anything else. Opened up the tip and didn't see much at first but I realized there was another part that could be opened on it, I did that and cleaned there as well, after I could see a very small light coming through the hole, I put the pieces back together and tested it without the electrodes on and it started spraying oil. I put everything back together and all is good. Thank you for the help!
What if the blower motor runs without the burner switch being on. As soon as I turn on my ign switch blower comes on w therm off and power switch off. New water coil, press switch, and ignitor fully rewired. Any input would be appreciated
Hi, I have an issue with diesel burner igniter, I am in Canada. after I turn fan on, igniter will produce spark for ten seconds and then shut off, "please note no fuel supply at this moment". When I repeat procedure right away, no spark at all. Only if I wait 5 seconds and turn fan on again, spark will be present for ten seconds again. So, the problem is if I won't squeeze pressure washing gun in 10 seconds I won't have ignition, and fuel pump will shoot diesel into the coil chamber. Igniter won't start working again until I turn fan off, wait 5 seconds and turn it back on. It's a new unit, and I don't think it should work that way. Any advice or solution would be much appreciated. Thank you
I am facing a problem with this kind of oil burner in Greece. Should the ignitor remain on for as long as the fire is burning? Or, should the ignitor turn off , after the fire is lit?
If you have no photocell the igniter will remain on. If you have a photocell the igniter will turn off. Once a flame is established the igniter does not need to remain on. This also makes it to where your burner will use less amperage.
you need to show one where it all missed up to see the difference. Even a photo dropped in to see it... Very good video Marco you guys did a good job!
If it's messed up, it simply won't spark.
Outstanding video. I may need an igniter and I'll know who to call.
Ty very good explanation, much appreciated
Thank you for watching!
Great video. Dad rocks. Thanks.
Hi Marco, can you ask your dad what's the benefit of bypassing the sight. The 2 yellow wires are cut and tapped off separately.

Thank you for this. Im not getting a flame, despite there being oil and spark from igniter

Curious when you say well insulated screwdriver does it need to be a specific kind of is the usual ones rated for 1000v good enough?
@@NowYouKnowMoe if you’re asking that question, just wear rubber gloves to be safe.
@@TXcommercialwash I just decided to buy a new ignition transformer because the one I have is like 25 years old
Thanks for the share, good info.
Thanks WashMart!!

I replaced my igniter due to no spark and when I tested the new one I had no spark still I don’t understand the problem
@@chevygirl5165 I wish I could help, Fred retired September and he is the burner wizard. We are no longer servicing equipment after his retirement.

@@TXcommercialwash I will try to make it turn off. I appreciate your response!
@@mixaliskapodistrias6260 you're welcome! I love knowing the Greeks are seeing our videos!
Mine works well for a maybe an hour, then out of no where produces alot of black heavy smoke. Any ideas?
Most of the time it is because it's still injecting fuel when there is no flame, even if just for a moment will cause this
I have this same problem and it's very frustrating. I think it's an intermittent ignitor problem.
Any fix? I have this problem too. I'm waiting to install a new nozzle.
@@atm1513 it stopped doing it on its own
Or you can just ohm the springs should be between 480/580 more than 10%above those no good
