Star Sizer Stopped Working - Plugged?
My Star Sizer decided to quit pumping wax this morning. I removed the die that was in it and attempted to pump wax with no luck. A bit came out of the hole that feed the die but nothing afterwards. The unit is about half full of lube. I checked the plunger that applies pressure on the tube of lube and it seems to be working ok. I use a Magna heater and it is on. I suspect the unit is plugged from where the lube enters the area before the ram pushes the lube into the die area. I know I likely am not using the right terms but if you have the machine you know what I am referring to. I am wondering if I add enough heat to turn the wax into a liquid if the downward pressure on the tube of lube would be enough to foce the wax through and free the unit. I
I removed the Inspection plug and akk I see there is a shiny piece of metal which U assume is part of the ram that forces lube into the die.
I have to say this unit comes with the a manual completely devoid of anything but the barest of information. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
