    803 Pre-heat run-away

    No, not really. And the preheat comes on anyway during start up. So one way or another it gets preheated. I rarely used preheat, unless the batteries were low.

    803 Pre-heat run-away

    I believe the heaters are 12 volt heaters.

    I just sent a mail to a higher power. See if his old butt is up.

    803 Pre-heat run-away

    This is what I copied from the 5 KW book, and its what is in the 10 KW book. Having said that, let me ask a higher power. d. Set multimeter for ohms and test heater plugs. Normal reading is 4 to 5 ohms. Zero resistance indicates a shorted heater and a high reading indicates an open heater

    803 Pre-heat run-away

    This is a very common problem. Often its because the connections were loose. Or K18 or S1 were the problem.

    803 Pre-heat run-away

    I assume the leads on the 10k will be heavier as they have to pass current forward for 4 manifold plugs instead of 2. Yes, I need to study the TMs some more, especially about the differences between a 802 and 803. ;)

    803 Pre-heat run-away

    This is the so called Mark 1 switch. It had serious problems. Unreliable. The blue Squire switch, the Mark 2 was better, but still unreliable. The round Porzellan switch, Mark 3 is the best, and I have never seen one go bad, that was not abused. Like beat on. So yes, I would check the S1 also...

    803 Pre-heat run-away

    Is the switch a round, or square S1?
