I used my R155 kerosene heater for years in my
garage without any problems. Then the 097061-01
solid state relay went out. I replaced
it with new part number 107850-01. At
the same time, I also figured I would replace the filters, gasket, (HA3017) and
the rotor (HA3004). When putting it back
together, I used the HA1182 low pressure gauge I bought to set the psi to 5.0
psi like the manual said. Upon doing
this, it would only blow out a cloud of atomized kerosene and not light. If I put my finger over the adjustment s***w
and let the pressure increase toward 10 psi, it would light but then go out as
it returned to 5.0. I tried increasing
the pressure. At ~6 psi would allow it
to stay lit but your eyes burned from unburnt kerosene as it ran longer and longer. I decided to replace the other components
related to the fuel air mixture (HA3010 nozzle and PP211 spark plug). No improvement. I increased the pressure to 8.5 psi which
made the end cap glow slightly but it would stay lit and not put out a cloud as
it tried to start. While running at 8.5,
slowly you notice a sore throat and burning eyes from the unburnt kerosene. Can you help give me some guidance as to what
is wrong or what to check???
