You’re welcome!

Know problem

Honestly, if i were you i would check the inline valve on the rotary girders. You could have a warped half flange causing the capacitor to drain improperly past the choke tubing.

English please, I don’t know very much about burners. Can you explain?

What he means is take it to someone who knows about burners lol. I wouldn’t play around with a burner issue if I didn’t know it from top to bottom.

What he said was a bunch of jargon. Really disappointed he didn’t mention the flux capacitor!

I know how it work’s just don’t know the proper termenology for the parts. It looks to me like the ignitor arched, If it’s arching somethings gonna melt and catch fire… all the wires inside are clean and properly secured.

I have a 115v wayne burner for sale.

Thank you for the offer, Luckly I have a back up rig for now while I get this issue sorted out

Typically electrodes become loose from vibration & can have that effect or worse pop the ignitor cover & periodically tighten just don’t change electrode gap

Didn’t mean to come off as if you didn’t. I’ve just seen a lot of horror stories regarding burners and people working on them. I love working on my own equipment but some things I just don’t want to mess with.

Ay chihuahua !!!
