Is there a pressure guage on it?.... your pressure might need to be turned up a little, pretty common. Also mine tends to do this when its really cold, once it warms up it fires up fine

It's a dyno glo work horse.   Tsc brand I think.  Now it will trip breaker and I m not sure what's next

Did you figure out this??? Mine was just doing the same thing and I took the 2 air filters out ane cleaned tbem b6 blowing them out with the air compressor and it seems to be working good.

nope  cleaned the air filters  anjd got new photo cell and spark plug     was hoping it fixed  but nope   stumped

by the way ur describing it sounds like ya need to turn the pressure down a bit when fire shoots out the front of it theres to much fuel being burned excessive fumes

[Captn. J]

How do I turn it down?

[scooterbob]

fuel filter changed?

did you take the nozzle apart..?  take that whole brass piece apart ..inside u will find a stainless "tip" with groves cut in it..
thats what make the fuel come out the nozzle like a "fan pattern"  atomises it.. if it is cloged up then  it will come out in more of a "straight line" and will make it burn bad. flames out the end and it and make the cell read bad flame and shut down..

dose the motor sound strained?.. seen the vanes in the pump get stuck and actually stahl the whole motor. cause breaked to trip



there a port on back of  motor / pump.. . one port will adjust ur pressuer other is for test gauge

the one on the right on the very back of the pump where the air filters r
