After I put the cover on that stopped the flames from shooting out.

Well I finally got her to run, it was the safety switch. I replaced the nozzle and a new fuel line and tried it same symptoms. Then I put in the new safety switch and it fired right up and kept running. Now the only problem is I can only get the pressure to like 3 psi and I need 3.4. I'm using a...

I think the fuel line is fine but I'll go ahead and change it out anyway, might as well, already changed the vacuum line.

Okay, bought new safety/reset switch, new nozzle,and air filter kit,new nozzle sleeve about $64 total, paid $20 for the heater itself, so hopefully I'll have a running 50,000 btu heater for $84. If it works for a few years probably worth it.

Cover on or cover off, same symptoms.

Anyone have any ideas?

Well after trying about everything to get this darn thing running I looked at the manual and the #1 cause for my symptoms was: TEST PROCEDURE 1 Defective Safety Control (098205-04) Make sure unit is disconnected from AC source. Disconnect the blue wire coming from safety control that is...

I got it to run again but only for a few seconds, it sparks and fires up and then the reset kicks the unit off. I cleaned up the vanes and the rest of the pump and the vanes move freely, mine are metal. I'm going to try and clean the fuel filter again today to see if that's the problem, if not...

Well here's what I did today. Bought a new air vacuum line, took apart air pump and cleaned, wasn't that dirty/sticky, cleaned injector and photocell again, cleaned and adjusted spark plug, now I'm not getting fuel delivery when I try to start, good spark, pump is putting out air but can't tell...

Thanks for the replies, this spark plug looks just like a regular car spark plug. Also in order to get to 2.5 psi I have the adjustment screw turned pretty far in which doesn't seem right, I don't know. Ok, did some research on the plug should be a champion N12YC so I used a conversion chart to...

Bought an old reddy heater 50,000 btu off craiglist. When I bought it it fired up and ran for 5-10 seconds then puffed smoke, fired again and same scenario. Anyway got it cheap figuring I could fix. Put in new K1 kerosene and it fired for a few seconds and tripped the switch, same thing after a...

Maybe someone can help me here. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=252705

Anybody?

Hi all, I'm new here and need some help. I picked up a homemade air compressor yesterday. It has a Kellogg EM-52/10599 air pump made in Rochestor NY. I can't find any info on this pump. It works great and was wondering if anyone knows anything about it, when it was made. The guy that put this...
