    My burner kicks on for 2 seconds then shuts off. Replaced the fuel pump and things didn't improve. When it engages you can see the fuel shut off magnetize then when it's shuts off you can see the solenoid release. Still troubleshooting but any input would be great

Yet, it still blows diesel fuel into my coils and soaks them. Right now I don't use the heat but I'm thinking I need to replace my my ignitor

      Fuel delivery issue. Check fuel delivery nozzle and output of fuel pump. One or the other is causing "over" delivery of fuel.

    Am I not correct but isn’t there a 4th option as well? Isn’t there a pressure switch which tells the unit to fire once the trigger is pulled? Often times the problem is the pressure switch which gets stuck either causing the burner not to fire or fire and not be able to turn off

    • @Powerwash
      @Powerwash  3 года назад

      Oh Boy!! Your burner is not igniting. And it is dumping diesel into the chamber. When it does ignite be ready because it will shoot flame out of the burner. My recommendation is take back to your distributor so they can work on it to get it repaired. There a many things that can cause this problem.

      Thanks. I have one more question... when the burner is running I noticed there is way too much diesel fuel inside my coil system, so I replaced the tip. I then had to take out the whole coil system, clean off the diesel from the coils and reinstall with new insulation. when testing it again, the coils inside my burner is becoming saturated with diesel fuel again. Do you think that I'm not getting a spark or fire so therefore it's not burning the fuel? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I wish you had done the easy things first! My system had the overload breaker popped out so why do I need all the info about fuel flow and igniters before you get to telling that the pump is driven off the blower motor and can be damaged by water in the fuel? You only get to reasons your blower motor won't run after all the other systems.
