This item came out of the area near the engine. Most of the electrical wiring was disconnected and it was hanging from a wire which I didn't trace back. Wish I had but there it is...about 3" long, stainless screen, an open air filiment internally. Is it a fuse, a heating element, what is the darn thing!

It looks like either a quartz heater or an ozone generator.

Improved performance and economy. That is a photo of an octal-base thermionic valve... Good one Karl.

No manufacturer name.
It kind of looked like a fuse element but its glass tube was intentionally open to the atmosphere.
First thought was it had something to do with the CAPAC system.
Second thought it was a heater, but it is so small it couldn't heat much of anything.
Third thought maybe if gas fumes were below decks and entered the mesh chamber the element might ignite them and in the process burn itself out and cause a warning light of some kind or disable the engine????
I like the idea of a thermionic valve, maybe I can pull one out of my Bogen amp, but Jeff might be closer with the super syncatron idea.
The best thing is...I've got one and you guys don't! Chock one up for me :d/

fume detectors work by running a hot filament inside a wire mesh cage. when there are combustable fumes inside the cage, they burn and the detector trips on the extra heat. the wire cage keeps the flame from spreading to the air outside the sensor.

I do believe you hit it on the head. I had no idea how fume dectors work...my wife always tells me when I have that problem and I will not even attempt to try and figure out how a women works. Thanks for all the helpfull sugestions and a few laughs to boot.

I'd put a little power to it, just to see what happens. First try 12v, then 120v, then hit it with 240v, just to be sure it's really dead.
Always worked for me, as a kid ;)

Always worked for me, as a kid ;) The filament is broke! I was wondering what irreplaceable component it might be before disguarding it. Thanks anyway "Florida Bug Zapper!" Hell you guys use shotguns don't you? Is there a bag limit? Thanks very much for reminding me of another reason to enjoy the hard water season up here.

If that's the case, then you may need to start with 240v out of the gate. I'd apply that to the primary side of an automotive coil (a spare would do), then attach your unit to the secondary side.
Try all of that and report back on your findings.
