Fuel Burning Heater----Another One. - Page 10

I'm off to work shortly, if I get a chance I'll try and document step by step what I've done.........I'm begining to think its either PCB or a wiring fault....

I think I've got a similar problem to John Fol. He didn't get a pulsed 12v from his PCB due to a faulty glow plug. I'm only get 10v as well and with a test lamp, I certainly don't get any flashes of light.......

I'm also wondering if the coolant temperature and the weather to day are masking problems too.........

Any update on this, David?

I was away at the weekend, so in a word no......

I'm still wondering what to do next as I think I'm chasing my tail a bit......

Leave it for now you don't need it

I might set my test rig up again in the winter but from now on it will have to be payment for initial testing including return postage up front as I didn't get paid for one I worked on

Not funny when postage alone is £15-£20

I thought you were going to try Tony's spare PCB in his FBH to clarify that the PCB is OK.

Disappointing to hear that, Keith.

I don't want to know who it was, but I hope that it wasn't anyone on here.

Well whilst most of you were tucked up in bed (roads are very quiet at 3.30am....) I managed to get it to fire up.

It took three attempts and sure enough it burst into life.

I ran it for a few minuites then powered off pin3 and he ran down as per the procedure.

Alas, I cannot get it to fire up again.......

Next plan is to disconnect the K-Bus wire from the plug to see if that helps.......Tried Tony's PCB and it's no different.

I bet you was working the night shift David!! Just think when us poor ******s are at work today, you will be tucked up in bed.
