The air line that comes from the motor/pump needs to go to the front hose barb on you nozzle adapter, and the rear line on the nozzle adapter goes down to the fuel tank.

The pump pressure should be about 5.3 or more so your pump pressure is low and this would cause the unit not to work.

Here is a link to a service manual.

Make sure you check the rear plastic cover for any cracks and make sure you are not looking pump pressure.

Check the air filter the fuel level, fuel filter and the fan tightness, this should rotate smoothly.

Have the start/run capacitor checked.

Neither of you state the model of heater that is giving you starting problems. many of the motors have an external starting capacitor (relay). If so, you may just need that part, if your heater is equipped with one. On the other hand, many have an internal capacitor , which is not servicable.

If its the knob on the gas valve that shouldn't affect the operation however this part is normally not available to the average consumer and I would suggest you have a technician come out

Mske sure the rape switch is depressed and the heater is sitting upright on a solid surface. Good Luck _Ned_

Remove the nozzle and clean it. Clean the photo cell also. Check the fuel pump pressure it should be 5.1 #.

runs for awhile shuts down with a big puff of smoke comes out poured diesel 911 thought i had water in diesel fuel cans nothing help need solution ASAP

I had similar problems with a older Reddy Heater. I bought a 0-15 lb. gauge and removed a plug on the control end of the heater. Turn on or plug it in and set the fuel line pressure as listed on the data sheet (also listed on the heater).

IMPORTANT. This type of heater will not light if the oxygen level is below safe limits. You need more that 14% to support life. Normal is 21%.

It needs to be tuned up and nozzle changed. also electrodes will need to be cleaned and set.

check for a wire getting piched or pierced by a screw or the cowling. If not look for an air flow pressure switch and be sure it is working.

the fan must be hitting th upper cowling. see that the fan bracket is fully seated in the cutouts in the lower half of the unit.
