Here is the problems I was having and what I have done to fix them. The machine has always run fine on low.
-First the machine would not shut down but it also wouldn't run in medium or high for an extended period without stalling and bogging down. We thought the switch (low, medium, high) was bad and replaced it, but it did not fix the problem.
- Next in line was cleaning all the screens and the temp orifice. Same problem. After calling prochem, I learned that the everest has a supply gas line and a return gas line. My return line was run back to the supply line. The return line is supposed to run back to the tank. This allows the fuel to cool down, and my fuel was getting too hot hence the poor performace.
- I had the return line run back to the filler neck, and reset the computer (ECU). Now the machine would run only 15 minutes or so before shutting down on medium. We replaced the plugs which were badly fouled and the computer was giving a rich fuel reading. We replaced the switch again because prochem told us to. Same problem.
- The machine just shuts down after heating up. I put about 10 hg on the vac blower and set the temp to hot and had a solution hose cracked open to simulate cleaning, and the machine shut down after 20 minutes. The machine does not give any signal or trouble codes so the engine or water is not overheating.
- We also replaced the ground wire. I am beginning to think the engine oil may be heating up. The machine has a engine oil pressure switch and the ground could be bad.
Any thoughts as to what I should look for?
