Re: Re: Why will my effing truck not crank?!?! 22r on pane
It's fixed bygawd! Ordered new 225 mixer diaphragm from Buddy yesterday at 4:45pm and it was on my doorstep this morning. Installed and sumbitch crunk right up and idled like a champ.
Comparing the old one and the new one (which is made out of different, hopefully better material), best I can gather is the old one was just sort of "stretched out" and flimsy. If there's a pin hole in it, you need a microscope to tell it, because I cleaned it thoroughly and checked it up close up against a light. The perimeter seal of it, was good too. But anyways, here's pic of the new diaphragm.
Old one for immediate reference. (Without hardware attached to it)
Also from what I have gathered, there are name brand diaphragms and generics which tend to run cheaper prices. I figure the generics are made from cheaper materials which "wear out" sooner. My vaporizer and mixer setup is not an IMPCO, which I presume is a solid brand, so the old diaphragm was generic because the vaporizer and the mixer themselves are both generic. I guess it's just another backing fact of "you get what you pay for"
Glad to have all this documented for anyone else that may encounter propane problems, especially Buddy's posts. Thanks again, Buddy!
