@@Brian_the_repair_guy ever thing whent we'll I have spark now But still no fuel Going in the ingecter, I have to check the fule filter thank you again

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@johnmarinakis7475 make sure none of the air lines are cracked

[@trev1019]

Does that style of igniter stop sparking after heater lights?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Yes it is continuous

[@jameshenry9144]

What is wrong with it when you take the top cover off and put it back on it stops

[@jacjumpin7471]

Hey Brian- I got a problem with my heater It wont start I wont do anything No fan No spark Nothing All it does is the lite on the on/off switch comes on when you flip switch on Nothing else does anything I looked it over for defects and other than cracked hoses I didnt find anything obvious I looked on circuit board for a fuse but didnt see one Do they all have a fuse? Its not new but its never been used Its been stored for a few years since new Id appreciate any help

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Not all of the heaters have a fuse. Check your wires close to make sure they haven't been damaged by rodents. Typically if nothing happens when the machine is turned on, the board is bad.

[@jacjumpin7471]

@@Brian_the_repair_guy Thanks for helping I was afraid some part of the circuit board was fouled up Can they be trouble shot Can they be repaired Replaced Someone must be able to fix it Id hate to trash the heater They are not cheap Thanks Im not ready to give up yet

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@@jacjumpin7471 you can replace them. There is a man in Atlanta that repairs boards. You can email him and see if he can fix it. [e-mail]

[@jacjumpin7471]

@@Brian_the_repair_guy K Ill do that Thanks

[@bradfader691]

Check the power to the blower and also see if the fan spins freely. They get mucked up an need a little oil from time to time. Ive also seen the pump on the back break and lodge the broken hunks stopping the fan motor. Easily replaceable items

[@jennifernuss78]

Have a question...mine starts and runs...but it is spitting flames out front even with pressure set correctly...do you have an idea what I can do...alot of air coming out of that plug ...can that be fixed...please help

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@@jennifernuss78 spitting flames is usually residual fuel build.up burning off or other things burning off

[@bradfader691]

If you remove the screw that sets the air pressure theres a ball bearingg with a spring. Ive seen debris hold the port open an also seen the spring rust an fall apart

[@alfredbondurant2244]

On the igniter, does it stay on all the time, or once it lights up the spark shuts off

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Sorry I missed your question. Some units stay on, some do not

[@PainterD54]

Just for shits and giggles, I ordered the brass nozzle for a 125,000 btu unit and put it in my 80,000 btu unit and now mine heats like a larger model for the price if a nozxle! Crazy easy mod.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

I can't say I would recommend that, but I will not discourage it either.

[@51-FS]

Mine it shooting small flams out the nose. Same modle as this one. Gage it at 5.5. No matter where gage it set, it still dies it

[@mikem5475]

It still dies it?

[@51-FS]

​@@mikem5475no I fixed it

[@51-FS]

I think I fixed it any ways... lol I don't remember

[@bradfader691]

Alot of times the pump line or fuel pick up cracks or rots. Pressure should depend on the size of the unit. 55000 btu is about 3.7 psi. Also the nozzle can get plugged up. Just remove the nozzle an pull the brass sprayer out and take the inner threaded portion out an clean the small venturi tip. Reassemble an should be good. Another common issue is the igniter is too far an needs to be tweaked a bit closer

[@timothysobina6777]

Very good video!! Thank you!!

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Hope it was helpful

[@alfredbondurant2244]

Mine has a spark plug, does it have to spark continuous, “reframe questions “ sorry

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Some models spark continuous some do not. Depends on manufacturer

[@tyler560]

Mine won't ignight unless the top is off. I cleaned the nozzle......what next ?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Check the photo cell. Make sure the eye inside the boot is clean.

[@aaronlingenfelter7797]

My master heater is throwing an E1 code when I have the power on my fan does not spin

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Take the cover off, physically spin the fan by hand. It should spin freely. If you feel a bind in the fan, then the fuel pump should be adjusted. Try this first, let me know.

[@aaronlingenfelter7797]

@@Brian_the_repair_guy ok thank you I have the cover off yesterday and the fan spun free then hit a tight spot turn the power back on watching the fan close did try to spin a quick second but stopped and tripped

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@@aaronlingenfelter7797 this usually means the fuel pump on the rear is out of adjustment. It needs to be reset. If you are unsure, I can make a video this week in how to do this.

[@aaronlingenfelter7797]

@@Brian_the_repair_guy ok thank you I haven’t touched it since it was new a couple years ago I was looking at the book that came with it and tells how to adjust the screw and I noticed when I was was not reading any psi on the gauge when I turn it on I will try to adjust it with settings in the manual and see if I can get it to fire thanks again for the messages back

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@@aaronlingenfelter7797 if you have no psi, more than likely the fuel pump is damaged. The carbon disk and fins need to be replaced

[@bradfader691]

You can run these in a shop an they produce no carbon monoxide if its tuned properly.

@@bradfader691 as long as there is proper ventilation. The high BTU in a same area will burn more oxygen than is being replenished.
