Manually verified individual flow rates - 400/40 air/hydrogen
System temps are above the limits for ignition
Flame jet is clean and not clogged
Output pressure from the tank regulators is within specified range (tanks shared by another system and it isn't having issues)
Glow plug is functioning
Reduced lit offset with no effect
One thing I have noticed is that when attempting ignition the air/hydrogen flows drop to near 0 momentarily. The hydrogen is back up to nominal (40mL/min) within a second while the air literally takes 10-15 seconds to build back to 400 mL/min. After the ignition fails and the gas flows are automatically shut off by the instrument, if you manually turn the air back on it reaches nominal much more quickly.
Any thoughts before we have the EPC checked out?
