K.E.W Service & Repair Forum

HelloI have a kew 1502 steam cleaner which has a problem with the burner. It will run for about 5 seconds then cut out, I have changed the diesel filter and cleaned the filter into the nozzle. Also I have checked that the electrodes are working properly. Its as if something is turning the diesel supply off. Do you have any ideas? Also can you supply pump seal kits and how much are these?Many thanks Richard
