Can someone please explain the operation of a thermostart?
After talking with a few guys, I discovered I have one on my 5000. I saw where it is installed in the air intake, but believed the key switch had been changed at one time making it inoperable because the manual says you turn the key a certain direction to operate the thermostart.
After reading some and talking to others, I found mine is operated using a button. I checked it out last weekend while doing other work, and there is voltage to it with the button pressed, but it did not seem to operate like I thought it should.
I see other references in the archives to a fuel line going to it, which mine has, but I wonder if mine is plugged.
Can someone please explain how it works?
TIA
