@@fixeverything4u ... I have a heater like yours that I bought several years when they were cheap. It's been sitting in the garage since then. It's cold now, as you well know, and maybe I should give it a try again. I think I have the same problem you did, plus the wick is messed up. Hey, you should make a wick video. We all like those. And, have you ever used diesel fuel? they say it works. I don't know, but I'll try it.
I haven't used Diesel and it just so happens this unit needs a wick. The top edge is crunchy and brittle and doesn't burn very efficiently. Most likely from substandard K1 fuel or burning right to empty.
Hi dude, u meter this ignitor? my heater have this type of ignitor but the coil its out. i cant find in the work shop a replace, i may make one by my self using kanthal wire, but i cant find what is the resistance of this ignitor originaly.
I dont know the resistance of the filament. However, you don't need to make one. The DH30 ignitor head is available on Amazon and many other websites. $10-$15 seems to be the average cost. Easy push and twist bayonet socket installation. Thank you for watching!
Great question! I don't think I mentioned that in the video. A "fine" piece of sandpaper using my index finger. Both the ball and contact tab took about 10 seconds to clean. Then I wiped them off with a clean cloth with a shot of windex.
Awesome job showing up close and easy to understand!! Best video without lots of useless information!! Thank you so Very much!! ❤😊

What did you use to clean the battery terminal and the contact ball?
