It's a heater like this pic, so far I tested the pump and the pump is strong. I blew through the fuel line and I heard my air bubbles in the tank so i know the lines are not clogged.

I bypassed the photocell, still nothing.

Tomorrow I am going to disassemble the fuel atomizer and clean it and check it really close with it out.

Also make sure the intake is not plugged...I have had that happen. The other thing is make sure the viens in the pump are actually doing there job and not stuck. Moisture will stick those viens in the pump ring so they dont create the flow to pull the fuel from the tank. Be careful when you put the pump back together as the viens are not perfectly square, they are more rectangle. If they stick out of the pump ring when you bolt the housing back together it will break the pump ring...so the viens have to be in it properly. This is long winded for something not that hard to do...

@krazykuda should split that up and save it for the BBQ pit. Save the bark, that's the crucial ingredient.

He'll be right in the hunt for the Santa Maria Style BBQ experience. My friend Joe at the grill there manufactures those grills. Some Monkey Spit rubs for the meat and Game On! Crucial element not shown, large cooler of adult beverages. :rolleyes: It's part of the experience :lol:

My buddy Dug likes to smoke meat... I can give him some of the wood and bark....

I'm not gonna bark, but give him some of it....
 
Want a ton of info? Have some dealer stuff, parts book copies, instrument bezels, etc. prob fit in a large flat rate game box. Some serious cool stuff. I have no need for it. Got it with some other stuff I bought for the Cuda. Just the ride.

Nope, didn't even touch the scamp, we had freezing wind gusts and I still can't get my torpedo heater working. I am starting to think it's a worn out nozzle.

What's wrong with it???

Take the cover off and see if you see the spark when you turn it on...

also check the air pressure....

If you are getting spark, and air pressure, then it's most likely the fuel lines and filter... Also check the tank to make sure there are no "floaters" in the fuel... I found one of mine had floaters in it and they were clogging the fuel lines and fuel filter... I had one that had dry rotted and cracked fuel lines and were loosing the suction to pull the fuel into the igniter....

Have you removed the nozzle and taken it apart and cleaned it out??? Sometimes a good clean out will help...

However, I have not seen a nozzle issue, it's usually a fuel issue....

If youi have good pressure and are getting spark, then it's usually a fuel supply problem... check the filter or fuel lines....
