,
page 5). Clean tank and fuel
filters (see
Fuel Filters
, page
12). Fill with clean fuel

, page 5). Clean tank and
fuel filters (see
Fuel Filters
,
page 12). Fill with correct

,
page 10)
3. Move heater to warmer place
until fuel flows freely
4. Clean fuel filters (see
Fuel
Filters
, page 12)
5. Adjust pump pressure (see
Pump Pressure Adjustment
sections, page 11)
6. Connect spark plug wire to
spark plug
7. A) Adjust electrode gap to .075"
(see
Spark Plug
, page 10)
B) Clean fuel from spark plug

good, replace solenoid valve
9. Replace electronic ignitor
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. A) Fuel tank empty

C) Wrong fuel
2. Dirt in nozzle
3. Very low temperature may
cause fuel to thicken and not
flow
4. Dirty fuel filters
5. Wrong pump pressure
6. Spark plug wire disconnected
from plug
7. Spark plug problems due to:
