<VV> Re:gas heater

[N2VZD at aol.com]

pull the fuel inlet fitting off the burner.  there is a very small  (about 
3/8 in or so) fine screen in there. it is probably plugged up.  this is after 
making sure you have @ 3lbs pressure there. i would suggest taking it all apart 
carefully, because the back of the nozzle has a fine filter built in also.
i would suggest a burner service kit from clarks , it has the new inlet 
screen , and the rubber gas valve etc in it that fails because  the tip gets too 
hard with age to seal properly.  there is nothing like the feeling of a gas 
heater burning out of control. (puts on a real show in a rampy!!) the nos kits 
dont cut it , because the rubber parts are not soft enough.  the new kits are 
from aircraft heaters and are fresh. worth every penny!!  plus my sore back does 
not like taking the gas heater out of fc's very often!
