[VAC] Re: Hydro-Flame Heater



I just got my Hydro-flame running ,I had given up on it and was about to buy
a later model ,which would`nt have fit in same space, but soaked the burner
assembly in pb blaster, sandblasted ,and cleaned the orafice with a welding
tip cleaner . It doesnt blow out , its windy today and running , It doesnt
seem to regulate by the thermostatic thing ,(the bigger themocouple in back)
but runs steady with a powerfull flame , maybe your orafice is plugged up a
little ,or is it turning off because of thermostat ? So dont give up on it
yet -  or send me the parts if you do ! 8>)
