3.
Make sure that the fuel pump is ACTUALLY “clicking” starting at the
35 to 90 second point after starting. If you can’t hear the clicking,
put your thumb and forefinger on the fuel line to fuel pump
connection, You should feel a “pulse”, much like a human pulse at
about 30 beats per minute.
a.
If there is no pulse or click, the small piston inside the pump
may be dry or stuck. The piston can most often be “unstuck”
by several sharp taps to the fuel line to fuel pump connection
with the end of the 12mm end wrench.
b.
If there IS clicking, verify that fuel is actually moving along the
fuel line. If not, the pump may need to be primed.
Disconnect the fuel line and squirt a small amount of light oil
into the bottom of the pump and retighten the line securely.
i.
Make sure there are no vacuum leaks at the inline filter
if the fuel is coming from a main tank.
ii.
Make sure the fuel has its own dedicated fuel pickup if
it is coming from a main tank, and that the fuel supply
does not share a common supply with ANY other
device.
iii.
Make sure the fuel line and filter have not been pushed
too far into a day tank and the filter is now above the
fuel level.
Here are some more common problems and solutions:
Problem: “I have two lights flashing at start-up.”
Solution: In this case the unit is “locked up.” Perform the unlock
procedure in section III. a, above. However, the reason for “lock up” is
likely that the unit would not start after two tries for lack of fuel. Please
review the seven checks above.
Problem: “I always have a solid yellow and red flashing at start up.”
Solution: In this case, the most likely cause is that the small black lid
plug has been inserted under the cook-top incorrectly, OR that the plug
on the cord has a loose wire. Look closely at the plug end for proper
construction. Units built in 2008 or later do not have this feature.
