When you do get it out make sure you wire brush the bejesus out of the inside of the tilt tube , flush it out and pack the grease into it to ensure the whole of the tube inner is coated ....inc the pitting . I used s stainless wire 12 bore shotgun brush ....I sure wouldnt use it on a shotgun...

yeah there is something about holding the book in your hand .... its the oily finger prints all over the pages of the section pertaining to the issues your having with your motor :LOL:

I made up a pusher . steel tube with nut ( same size as end of tilt tube thread ) welded on one end , 14mm nut welded on tother , and a bit of 14mm threaded rod long enough to push the steering shaft right thru the tilt tube . Mine was really stuck ,if I tried to rotate rod the whole tilt...

Mmmm bugger ! Looks like there are 3 either bulges or discolorations down the left side adjacent to the three nuts on the right side ....I wonder if thats where the power transistors are . Probly wouldnt be hard to make one...

I have a 5kg cylinder of Co2 with a bit of hose on it , never used it on a fire but it doubles as a spare welding cyl and we used it to stop Haydens leyland tractor running away .

The inner most flue is one piece from the top of the burner to the cap , 6" seamless stainless steel , I know I previously said 5" but I just measured it ....def 6" edit , actually thats not true ....there is one join about half a meter below the ceiling :rolleyes::)

can you get into the switch box ? is there a circuit board you can see ? . Im just thinking that by the way you describe your diagnosis it sounds like the switch box is 3 separate switches /circuits and thusly you have two good ones to compare against the bad one .... may be a single...

My flue is straight , supported just above the ceiling and just below the roof on the inside . Flue is single 5" to the ceiling and then triple tubed thru the ceiling cavity ( air gap fed from ceiling cavity ) and the double tubed to the cap on the outside . The bit sticking out of the roof...

yeah , part of my colon and a bit of jejunum , had a bag for a year ....motorbike crash . opp site keeps herniating .

My friend has this set up and he uses cheaper corrugated iron sheet ( we call it Zincalume , nice and shiny but pita coz you cant solder it to make custom fittings ) for the heat shield on the wall ....looks good too

Yay .....sounds like you got lucky . I have seen some 2 strokes grind to a halt thru lack of lube or overheating , or not enough bore clearance after a rebuild , that suffered no apparent damage .........also seen a few that did ...spectacularly so :D

Re your comment about digital meters averaging things out .... I was thinking about the fact that they provide an RMS reading , and was wondering how that would play out :unsure::unsure:

I dunno so much about log burners , but when I was running the show I had two gas fitters installing gas fires and one thing I learnt is that you cant take to much heat out of the flue otherwise the flow aint so good ....the exhaust being cooler . Im pretty sure the more heat lost out of the...

Check points gap too , to much dwell time can cause a coil to run hot .

nah , The flue is clear , I take the double burner plate out , mirror and a torch ...can see all the way up to the flue cap . At worst there is a light dusting of soot right at the top and underside of cap . I burn Macrocarpa , Gum ,Beach, demolition wood and a wee bit of Oregon pine , The...

Yeah we got told that but our logburner has been installed since 2014 and has not yet had the flue cleaned ........we only burn dry wood and/or coal . If you burn wet wood ...not rain wet but freshly cut wood then you will get a build up of creosote and that not only clogs the flue but...

shame you got a faulty one , and a spare is a cheapish bit for piece of mind . Probly the biggest issue for these things is heat . You could change the mounting if the thing is bolted to something hot like the cylinder block . I have previously mounted the reg/rect on a bit of ally sheet using...

Just to add ... what pisses me off the most is that I have been in the service/repair line of work far to long to be caught out by blindly believing that the new part is good .

Yeah well take care Joe , I have had a hernia strangulate on me . Bowel surgery is pretty unpleasant .:)

Huh , I have just had a mega run around because of a new pulse coil that had the ( colour coded ) wires and plug transposed inside the coil and was screwing up the ignition advance .....I even bought a new CDI before discovering the real fault ......and this was from a US supplier . They have...
