We are looking at a c-44 gas machine that had the board changed but it fires for several seconds then the delay and starts again for several seconds-then the delay and starts again running for several seconds and then it drops out.
sometimes it will spark then a bang a slight delay and sparks and then a bang again--is it possible one of the gas valves are getting stuck .
The flue is clear-no warter in the pan below-good vent above unit--the blower motor is working-even tried blocking off some flow.
the cover is sealed and on tight-could it be the new board is bad.
could the valves modulate mechanically from a spring problem and the 24 volt coil is ok-it was checked and it is ok.
thanks
Please be careful
when converting appliances form natural gas to propane. Depending on the
equipment there are several changes that need to be made. You will at least
have to change burner orifices and convert or replace the gas valve. Some gas
valves are not convertible. What many people over look are changing the pilot
orifice and on some appliances like braising pans, griddles and char broilers
there is a runner tube orifice. The gas valve also needs to be adjusted to the
proper manifold pressure and pilot adjustments will be required. I recommend on Vulcan equipment that you
contact Hobart Service since they are factory trained on all Vulcan cooking equipment.

not sure-however one of the techs replaced the ignition cable and probe and it is working for now
however before replacing the part the probe and spark seemed to respond to a propane torching normally
when the probe was in it was going on 7 seconds then delay-another 7 sec then delay
sometimes it would delay then explosion--delay then explosion
hopefully it went away with the new spark assembly
have you had this problem and what could be other causes
thanks
