Help, My diddle pin is stuck in my gargantuator valve. How do I make for a safe extraction.


Thanks,
Johnny Ballgame.

It may be easier than you think , what you need to do is wire in a 1K ¼ watt resistor to the rectification relay located to the left of the gargantuator valve. Measure the voltage drop across it then convert it to milliamps, divide this by 100 and if the answer is less than 20 % of the hold in current just gently pull on the diddle pin. If it’s greater than 20 % … sorry dude your going to have to shut it down.
P.S. make sure the back pressure is below the rated blow down setting prior to shutting it down, if it comes to that.


Hope this helps

Before you perform the above procedure carefully schrave the knuter valve. After that using an acurate capacitance tester check the capacitance of the flux capacitor (read in microfarads)If the reading is out of tolerance by more than 10% you have to junk the whole unit.
