PROBABLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION

2.
Defective Staged Ignition
Solenoid (Figure 8-1).

Disconnect the Staged Ignition Assembly solenoid from
the Gas injector Tube of the Igniter-Injector (Figure 8-1)
and inspect Gas Injector to ensure it is not clogged or
damaged.
2.
Close the 2” Manual Shutoff Valve. Attempt to start the unit
and listen for a “clicking” sound that the Staged Ignition
Solenoid makes during Ignition Trial. If “clicking” sound is
not heard after 2 or 3 attempts, replace the Staged Ignition
Solenoid.
Fluctuating Gas Pressure
1.
Gas pressure going into unit is
fluctuating.

Check to ensure that the Damping Orifice is installed in the
SSOV Actuator shown in Figure 8-2. (For IRI (DBB) Gas
Trains, the Damping Orifice is installed in the downstream
SSOV Actuator).
