| Subject: | QDF-1 AIR START SOLENOID VALVE |
Gentlemen,
occasionally, I attempt to start my HS6A and am met with a 'psssst' and no
prop turning. I'll move the prop, but same issue. If I put a battery charger
on, the engine turns over easily. Main air pressure is high and constant both
tries.
Should I just replace the valve or are there possibly larger problems afoot.
Thanks,
Phil Nicholson

Perhaps your battery is too weak to throw the starter solenoid. By adding
the charger, you temporarily solve the problem. A guess.

Phil,
Your QDF-1 start valve is about TU.
It is an electro/pneumatic valve, meaning it has a solenoid in it which
opens the valve and allows the air to get to the engine.
Your solenoid works better with more charge (on the charger) because it is
corroded and requires more power (amps) to open the valve.
However you might try flushing out the pneumatic side with WD-40, give me a
call and I'll explain the process.
I have them in stock if needed.
Best,
Doug

Byron is correct. The air start solenoid is not fully opening because
of the weak battery OR there may be some gunk inside the solenoid that
is causing it not to fully open. Replace the batteries first and try
it. If it still acts up, I'm sure Doug has new air start solenoids in
stock.

The "gunk" can be flushed with WD-40 as I suggested. The process is simple.

Byron pointed you in the right direction. Look at the voltmeter when you
are starting. If it is at 24v (it should be) and you have the problem , you
are looking at either a bad start valve or bad connections to the start
valve. If the voltage is below 24 volts then either your a
Battery is bad or the battery is not charging properly. Make sure you have
28v when the generator comes on-line.
