Re: Re: Re:

I don't think mine has a lockoff? Actually just got my tanks recertified as they had been out of date for a few years and my propane guy finally has cracked down on me. New nozzles with new o rings in them. Problem is still the same as before.

Friend of mine came over to help troubleshoot tonight. Pulled hose running from vaporizer to the mixer and tried starting while his hand was over it and it ain't pulling **** for vacuum...now we had the filter off of the air intake hole, maybe it creates just enough of a block off for it to pull enough vacuum to operate the vaporizer? We didn't try feeling for vacuum with the filter on. But with the hose plugged back up like normal, he could put his hand over the air intake hole while I tried starting it, and it would fire quickly. Currently got the carb/mixer off of the intake and cannot find anything showing signs of vacuum leak, it's weird. Gaskets look fine. All I can think of that's left is rebuilding the vaporizer, but wtf could be wrong with it that could need replacing? I mean vacuum makes it open so LP can flow through...so it sounds like I have a vacuum leak, but we inspected every damn possible thing, couldn't find ****. Also sprayed brake cleaner around everything while trying to start it, with hopes of finding vacuum leak, with no luck. I'm running out of patients with it lol.

Teeny bit of oil inside vaporizer but the little lever thing seems to work fine, and the diaphragm seals off like it should....I don't know what else to check. He could hold the button down on vaporizer and it would run as long as you wanted to hold it, or hold down the throttle a little ways. After he let off the button, I could maintain it with the throttle, until I let off and it would go dead and wouldn't even crank back when immediately trying to start it after it died.
