Is there anyway to repair this Burner

admin

I have a new on ordered but it will be at least a month.  I use the griddle everyday.  Anyway you can think of to repair this. I have a few weld processes available but it is pretty rusty from the Propane I guess.  


Reply:It's definitely repairable the question is, is it worth your time and expense to repair it.  H ow much is the new one? Do you know what It's made from?
Reply:Chinesium in most cases... not easy to work with. The good news is that it only has to last a month. I've seen ski-doo pistons patched with epoxy that lasted years. For a temporary fix I would wire brush that burnt area really good, give it a layer of epoxy and drill some small holes where the original vents were. Gonna catch flack for this one on a welding site, but you did say a new one was on order...250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes

Reply:You could weld it on but i would be inclined to drill holes in a sheet, roll it a little and hose clamp or tie wire it on.But,,,, i been working around torches and burners all my life, its not that scary.Last edited by Sberry; 2 Days Ago at 08:31 PM.www.urkafarms.com
Reply:The way Sberry said would work but I would torch weld it until I closed the gapping hole up and then drill new holes. I see no problems with repairing it.
Reply:I don't think your burning propane will get anywhere near the heat of a 2 cycle piston. It's a 3 minute fix and if I'm wrong, you're right back to where you are now... I don't see a problem with fixing it either. It basically "leaked" out of each of those orifices from day one.250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes
Reply:I will give it a try,  nothing to loose I guess since I am going to throw it away at some point anyway. Best case, it works, worst case I am out some time and had some practice. Was a bit concerned about the gas but I guess I can monitor it.  thanks all.

Reply:Silicone would work with a day dry.  I doubt it needs it, its simply to keep the pressure consistent and flame organized at that point.www.urkafarms.com
