We've searched extensively for the procedure to de-carbonize

Nancy and Bud

a Wallas cooktop/heater without success.

Maybe my search skills are deficient and I need a tutorial/mentor to show me how to find this info.

Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

From all that I read this morning Wallas owners are bi-polar: They either LOVE them or HATE them, not many in between.

I'm not real sure this is what you are after or if you have seen it already, but our friends on Primitive put together a great tutorial on Wallas maintenance several years back.

It is in the Documents section right here.

I have to admit - when I saw the title of your post I thought for sure it was going to be about "blowing the carbon out" of the motor. I have done that thousands of times over the years with many, many engines on many types of vehicles. It never helps them run better but it sure is fun to do and it's a great excuse for doing it!

Kind of like a Wallas - you can do all the right things but usually it doesn't make it work any better.

Mike,

Read the first post in this thread. http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=18878

"The manual tells me the problem might be a carbonized burner. Anyone know how to uncarbonize the burner?"

Thanks for the directions to the document.

I'm worn out just reading it let alone tackling that project. Very Happy

this may (or may not ) help in "Decarbonizing", but I think it does help in preventing "carbonization". The instructions with my Wallas say to start it on high, and run it on high for 10 min. (I can't remember that time number for sure), and to set it on high again before shutting it off. For me, I run it on High, for 20 minutes on each end of the use time.

Admittedly, I don't use mine often, but that is the process I use when I do run it, and it has never failed me yet. So, if you get yours "de-carbonized" maybe you wont need to do it again.

Best as you go --Harvey

The one thing I have determined is that no fuel is being pumped from the fuel supply to the stove.
