Is a 1/4 horse 12v motor equivalent, practically speaking, to a 1/4 115v?



What is your list of add ons to make a 12v system as good as possible?
I know you want relays and "Just add a Clamping Diode across all of the coils and the spike will disappear like magic. Part# ECG5817 or NTE5817 should do the trick."

Do you recommend anything else?

Thanks
 
Keep the Electrodes adjusted to the proper Gap. The Solid state Igniter will burn out if the gap is to far or too close. I t will find the closest ground and short it's self out.

Never charge the battery when it is connected to the machine. It will burn up the voltage regulator.

Check your battery every weak. Voltage and current with a battery checker. And check the water level. Since the burner depends on a good batery checking it is a good idea. Unless you have one of those that just uses the voltage Regulator.
Learn to cool down the burner before shutting down the machine. It will prevent component burn out. If you shut the machine down without shutting off the burner first. The voltage from the regulator will drop as the engine is shutting down and it will burn out components.
 
Thanks

You still recommend those diodes? I am very careful about shutting off the burner, but is there a low voltage cutoff that could be installed just in case?
 
Don't worry about that.
I consulted with the coil manufacture, ( Custom Coils) and they put it into their design now.
