Mine I just had to wind a screw in to up the pressure of the air sucking the fuel. Might not be the same. Check the pipes to see if the are tight. Mine had perished over time and was poor to start from low pressure

Worst thing we done was put red diesel in our heaters. They all ended up going away to be fixed. Repair man told us to stay the hell away from red diesel. Kero is for heating, it’s cheaper and cleaner and that’s all we use now in our heaters and hot power washers and no problems.

Mine is supposed to be kero but alway ran it in red diesel. Been 15 years from new and the motor gave out this year and it’s been used a lot in some very cold conditions some times I’ve had to put an electric fan heater infront of it to warm the motor so the bearings would release to get it running

This man is excellent for advice and spare parts. Excellent service on each occasion I have used him,


gas oil may be more convenient but the diesel bug is an issue as the fuel tank doesn’t get emptied. Keep is much betterfor keeping the filter clean.
