My Propex 1600 Blow-Heater, Will not Ignite, HELP ! !

[Andrew_374301788]

Dear Anyone,

I've just sold a Propex 1600 Blow-heater (on ebay) the New owner says he cannot get it to ignite on Bench testing, at all. I supplied him with a wiring diagram (noted as i took it off old camper) I used it all year round for 3 years, (inc' through winters) with me it lighted 1st time 19 out of 20 times, he assures me he has wired it correctly & that when he turns it on, it Blows, Clicks but does not Ignite & is using Butane as i did.

Is there anything you could recommend ?

Like cleaning the Igniter, Jet, etc, I don't want him to Ruin it, But ?

Please Don't say take it to a Pro' I like my arms & Legs.

Please reply if you could, Directly if you want. even if it's negitive.

first thing to check is the battery, these heaters will not work with low voltage, when you say you can hear it click is this just one click ie gas solinoid opening,or can you also hear a constant ticking noise, if you do open it up and can see nothing obvious like a loose wire I would leave it alone as there is not much you can do except clean, if you do have to send it back to propex they might not touch it if the casing seal has been broken, hope this might help but if not I think propex have a website, I think they also deal with mikuni heaters, if you need it I might be able to dig up thier address, used to fit these alot but now tend to use eberspachers more and more..........Mark
